It is not so simple. Sometimes I have Opera Firefox and IE started simultaneously. And + 2 feedreaders. And now many apps try to download something from Internet. So centralized connection filtering is very needed.
Now I use locally installed proxy for the purpose of that. And I can say it is greatly useful. But it uses own additional network interface driver installed side by side with comodo driver.
Yeah browsers have connection parsing and filtering abilities.
But those settings is not permanent. I have quickly to on and off back its.
And browsers have various ways (not always easy) to reach those toggles.
That is why I have to install additional app which installs own network driver
(Why do not uninstall (and forget) it if we already have network driver which could be used)
And as a competitive advantage of Comodo
we would get also
@HeffeD: I’ve used FF 2.X and never seen a flash, video or other media filter except image filter, same for IE. I’m using SeaMonkey (Mozilla Suite) and doesn’t have that kind of filter either.
@myuser: CIS have the point 2 of your first post. Or what is missing in your opinion?
no. is not missing.
second is proxy abilities (traffic savings) and
third is internet activity logging (reporting+monitoring) and
first is my main wish - ability to create connection filtering rules(policies).
this impressive arsenal we would get if comodo learn to parse connections
and we would uninstall all another network drivers + apps installed in these purposes…
