The best browser is in the wild!!! ;D

Nige_39 · January 24, 2012, 4:19pm

I agree with you Siketa. I hate seeing ads saying upgrade to the best Browser on the Internet, and it says Internet Explore 9. I say to myself you can do one and ignore

miloszcz · January 24, 2012, 8:12pm

I really like silent update

AimeeLW · January 24, 2012, 9:57pm

One annoying bug during installation of 17.x is if you dont set Dragon as defualt browser it will set defualt browser to Internet Explorer, since my defualt browser is Firefox this can be quite annoying at times, I hope comodo can look into this and fix this >:(

Apart from that annoyance I love dragon, I use it as my second browser and often flash firmware on my router with it, is excallant browser, hopefully comodo will keep up great work ;D

I personnaly prefer not to have any browser set as default.

Not sure if it is an advantage or disadvantage ?

I would like to add this comment, because quite frankly I’m not going to take the time to read all of the other posts here. I think it’s freaking annoying as hades, to have this dragon make you update their download it seems every dam* time it seems I get on the net. That is truly a pain in anyone’s rump! Cut the ■■■■ Comodo! Or I’m so very close to ditching your browser, and going back to Chrome or Firefox, just to get away from the ridiculous annoying notices. Sound irritated? You bet I and I’m sure other’s are too!

They just recently added a silent update.

As I tell the players in the gaming server that I am an Admin of, “We can’t please everyone. We please someone but hurt another in the process, some things we have to just accept.” Also, I would like to quote what we tell players that have complaints about playing in our server, “You are free to play and free to leave, we aren’t forcing you to stay.”

I think a cool feature that could he added that I’ve never seen in any program is say you get an alert that there’s an update but you heard there is a bug with this new version that you don’t like so you click something that says don’t notify again until the next update is available. so say you have dragon 17 and you get an alert to update to 17.1 but you don’t want it so you click don’t notify until the next update is available. so you won’t get another alert until say 17.2 is available or possibly 18 depending on how far the version number jumps. but you won’t get an alert until there is a version available that is newer than 17.1 . also if you you have silent update on but don’t want to turn it off but want to prevent getting 17.1 and dragon hasn’t already installed it you could add an option to skip next update. also if you have silent update off and you get an update alert, add a link to the release notes and known issues. so people can easily make an informed decision

Since the updates were fixed in a small amount of time, do not hold me to what “small” means. An idea of a few hours or a full day will be great. I say that your idea is not bad, holding off for a full version update.

Any reason why the beta channel has been removed? Does this mean Comodo will not update Dragon to new Chromium releases anymore?

wasgij6 · February 7, 2012, 7:33am

its still there for me

megamanx · February 7, 2012, 7:37am

They have not updated since 12 Beta, and we still receive updates. They just keep Betas in the background until they deem Stable and skip Beta phase altogether, regarding the public.

dicks · February 7, 2012, 1:19pm

How do I switch to the beta channel? I am on 17.1.
