Hi Vadym,
Any idea if it will support it’s “own proxy” settings someday?
I run IE settings through a proxy to have control over IE behavior but would like to have CD go out without proxy…

Duh? so this is not a BETA but a Official Release?
Got me all confused as well, thought this was Beta, and there would be many new and exciting things in Beta before a Official Final release? 88)
Thank you, CD is working very well. Any ideas when we can use chrome extensions?
few queries -
CD has 2 processes, Dragon.exe, m i right??
no status bar, right??
cannot change the download location, right??
phishing and malware protection is from chrome or comodo coz i tested 4 phish sites from phishtank, internet explorer blocked all, CD none. weak malware protection.

is wot compatible with CD??
plzz clear all these points. by the way running fine on xp sp3 home.
regards

So tell me, how does this browser is more secure and provides more privacy than Google’s Chrome when it doesn’t pass a simple referrer test? ???
Or is it just a rebranded Chromium? ???

Some things they removed from the Google version…
Comodo Dragon Alpha is now available for download from the following link:
http://download.comodo.com/dragon/DragonSetup.exe
COMODO Dragon Release Notes:
Comodo Dragon internet browser is based on the source code of Google Chrome browser but has a number of improvements, which includes fixes some privacy and security improvements.
ADDED Certificate Domain Validation checking warning
Comodo Dragon uses advanced domain validation technology originally developed in Comodo Verification Engine. It performs additional analysis of a domain’s SSL certificate to warn about those that been issued with Domain Only Validation.
FIXED Client identification number privacy issue.
Comodo Dragon fixes this privacy issues, which exists in Chrome browser. Chrome creates an ID for each client (user). This security gap theoretically can be used to identify a user. This ID has been removed.
REMOVED RLZ-Tracking capability.
RLZ-Tracking is a Chrome’s feature which informs Google about when and where the browser has been downloaded. This capability has been removed in Dragon. This has been done to protect user privacy
COMODO’s traditional product update technology is used.
Dragon uses COMODO’s own installer and update technology. Chrome, on the other hand, checks for updates and makes update via Google Updater, legality of which was put under question by Red Bend Software. Google Updater was entirely eliminated in Dragon
REMOVED error reporting mechanism.
Error reporting is used by Google to find and remove problems in their software however the information, which is sent to Google, includes some data about the computer’s software. In case it this information is intercepted by an attacker, it can be used to reveal vulnerabilities in the computer’s security system. COMODO Dragon has eliminated this mechanism is order not to compromise user’s security and privacy.
REMOVED installation time-tracking.
COMODO’s installation technology doesn’t use and store information about when the software was installed and updated, all actions are based only on your current version number, whereas Chrome installation stores detailed (up to the second) information about software installation time
ADDED smart software removal
During software remove Dragon asks user whether he or she wants to keep user preferences data (home page, search engine customizing, etc) and leaves or removes user profile based on his or her choice. This is done for user’s convenience. Leaving user’s profile on your computer is recommended if you are going to return to using Dragon in future
EXCLUDED remote error pages usage
Dragon uses locally stored error messages (such as “Page not found”), whereas Chrome in its default configuration uses server-stored error messages. In Dragon information about your network input errors is limited to your browser instead of being sent to Google’s remote server.
Regards,
Shane.

I see. In general, Comodo’s devs removed from the source code all the spyware that Google had implemented.;D That’s a good thing :-TU :-TU, but I would like to see an easy way to disable /enable sending of the referrer. Most websites doesn’t need it to proper function anyway, and I don’t see any reason why I should broadcast it to them.
Chromium performance is still better than Firefox. But the latest one is starting to keep up. >:-D
Anyway, is there any adblock to Chromium based web browser which doesn’t work like a proxy server?

How does the memory consumption fare compared to the other browsers?

Hi metalforlife
Here’s a simple test with Opera 10.10, Firefox 3.6, IE8 and Dragon all showing the google homepage. I guess it’s a little unfair as CD is a multi-process browser so I’ve added a second screenshot minus google homepage for CD.

Thanks for the update :-TU , all is well after 24 hours except Avast Web Shield still doesn’t scan HTTP traffic.
Just a small point, the colour that was put into the GUI of Beta 0.9.0.22 has now disappeared :o.
Is there any ‘Comodo’ Themes planned for the GUI as the ones on the >:-D’Goo**e’ site are not up to much
