Why WOT not working

Will be there also a dialog to manage the list of exceptions?

It will be up to Comodo and the Comodo Dragon Devs to decide that. I can't decide that, but there would have to be some way.

What Endymion suggests is the simplest approach, but yes you would have to be able to manage (at least remove) exceptions. IT also seems to me that OV certs should receive warnings as well - maybe this would be optional.

A more selective approach would be to (have the option of) warning only when the user tries to post or otherwise send data?

I posted a screen-shot and asked a question about Firefox's "Add Exception":

Knowing and agreeing with Melih on DV certs, I don't foresee an exclusion list getting added. It defeats the purpose of the DV warning.  However, making this list function like Firefox's "Add Exception" for SSL certificates, might work as this would mean the user EXPLICITLY trusts the site.

Thought necessary for everybody to see a picture if I did not misunderstand the above quote

I'm not sure what I suggested whereas I was asking about types of widgets that provide warning and notification (ask and/or explain) to the user.

Surely IF it was necessary to even choose what notification could apply, then starting from a list of available notification widgets was necessary.



Having said that I thought these lines were enough to to describe my suggestion

Hopefully notification of plugins using DV certs or even about plugins attempting communications to 3rd parties (perhaps providing reputation feedback about the domain) can be possibly added to CD along with options to  disable such features for all plugin or selectively for some of them.

Thanks yes, the above is what I meant (including the Firefox approach).

Indeed and what I meant is that I thought firefox approach was not my suggestion whenever I was asking informations to understand how much it matched my earliest hopes about a foreseeable evolution of CD.

Preventing malfunction of plugins extensions that rely on DV-SSL connection (whereas this topic focus on a specific example of such extension) it is still my main concern though eventually adding notification whereas each extension attempt silent ( DV/EV/OV-https and http) connection to 3rd parties  would be IMHO a reasonably agreeable way to differentiate CD from other Chromium implementation (provided that users would be able to completely/selectively disable such new feature if they wish so)

Whenever new features will be implemented with a degree of reconfigurability this would be also relevant to increase user compliance and CD adoption whereas deal-breaker limitations (eg loss of functionality) would be reduced or nullified.

OK That's fine!

I guess we should all distil our best ideas into the wishlist item? This issue is a classic example of something that appears as a bug to the user, but as a wishlist item to the developer :-)

Though I wish so, I'm not sure how much feasible is warning about silent 3rd party connection made by extensions.

The best way would allow the user to be aware to what sites  an extension connects-to so the extension is limited to these sites alone.
But it is not unlikely that an extension might attempt connection to different sites at different times whereas the user might not approve/consent some of those sites.

Other than wishing for a possible solution to the above I would be fine to get all extensions to work (even if it means to allow extension to rely on  DV-SSL connections)


If the the design is seemingly meant to notify (and let user choose if block) about DV-SSL then I wish the design will be consistently extended to extensions.


Though I feel difficult to generalize over what is not a bug considering this topic outline a loss of functionality (silent blocking of extensions using DV_SSL) over vanilla chromium.

Whereas vanilla chromium can be considered a legitimate reference, CD undoubtedly also provides new useful features and functionalities (eg DV-SSL notification for webpages).

Hi All

I got a workaround to make WOT to work in COMODO Dragon.

For this you will have to install Ultimate Chrome Flag extension. - https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dbpojpfdiliekbbiplijcphappgcgjfn

After installing, whenever you open a webpage, WOT rankings will be shown in the address bar of that website.
It won't work in search results though.

Thanks. That's going to be very useful till we get a whitelist or opt-out!

Exactly.

Thanks.
