Hasn’t this always been this way, but just not telling the user, whereas now it does tell the user which is an improvement ?
Personally I install my own preference for search engine Startpage - Private Search Engine. No Tracking. No Search History.
Use that as default search engine and get rid of the others ( Yahoo, Google, Bing … all deleted )
Comodo will re-install them when you update Dragon unfortunately, I think they have to.
Also Dragon does not clear everything out has been known for a few years, its the same with all Chromium based browsers, if you have the advanced settings set to “Clear at Exit” all of them ticked ( You will notice Dragon takes a little longer to shut down ), there will still be residue files to clean up … To prove that use CCleaner after you have closed the browser, and it will find files from Chrome ( its just mistakenly identifying Dragon as Chrome ).
Even if you use the advanced setting to open the browser in incognito mode, which should not save anything to hard drive while you are using it … CCleaner will still find things it left behind.
Best version of CCleaner if you are interested, is here in the builds downloads Builds
I use the Portable version, which does not have any installer trying to install tool bars etc etc
Just extract the archive, put the folder somewhere on your hard drive you want to run it from, right click the CCleaner.exe inside the folder and choose ““Send to” - Desktop”. For a convenient icon to run it ( You can now rename this desktop icon just to CCleaner ). When run, it will save its portable settings in the same folder. To update it in future, just overwrite the same files.
I think Dragon should do more in this regard also, maybe the Comodo team can expand the “Clear at Exit” options they put in advanced settings, or maybe they dont know how to fully clear out all history this browser stores yet.
Or maybe, clearing this stuff out fully might not be conducive to the handshakes Comodo have with Yahoo ?, who knows.
