New Ideas for Comodo Dragon

[exgrey1]

@Papillon post:60

As I am concerned with privacy, I decided to give Dragon a test. I went to

http://panopticlick.eff.org/

And tested. While my results with Dragon were not ‘unique’, meaning that my browser could be identified and tracked, Dragon did not do as well as Opera in protecting my privacy. I would have thought the opposite to be true. I suggest that the developers make improvements in this area.

I agree, this is the reason I use Dragon. If it’s not special in regards to privacy & security there isn’t any reason to use it. :-\

With latest beta of Dragon:

Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 764,260 tested so far.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 19.54 bits of identifying information.

Opera 10.10

Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 764,267 tested so far.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 19.54 bits of identifying information.

Dragon (Incognito Mode)

Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors, only one in 382,132 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 18.54 bits of identifying information.

What should we be seeing that would need correcting?

Why would you test one in incognito and another in normal mode?

My idea is DC update the version to one of these new versions of Google Chrome:
STABLE: v. 4.1.249.1042
BETA: v. 5.0.342.8
DEV: v. 5.0.360.0

And here are some specific recommendations which might be incorporated into a ‘private’ browser.

Telling one to read something doesn’t NEARLY have the effect of conveying your OWN point of view. We need to hear YOUR side of the story.

More speed? Great. More privacy? Even better. Better security? I’m in. What I DON’T want is for CD to become Firefox. More flexibility is great but don’t overload it. I’ll leave the specifics up to you guys. Let’s keep her lean & mean.

but firefox is only as bloated as you make it or want it though

Something like Prevx SafeOnline would be a good idea in my opinion (See uploaded Attachment) and link is here Melih for inspection http://www.prevx.com/safeonline.asp

Hope this helps.

what about adding a “bank mode” to CIS like i have suggested many times in the past…like prevx does…lock down particular sights like banks

I think for option two blattida may be talking about like a Master Password… So you can protect your passwords if multiple users share the same computer, and by having the Master Pass if you have forgotten your info when you go to log in to a certain website or forum, the Master Pass will prompt you type in the password and it auto fills out username and password so that you may log in.

I’m looking at using the Dragon Browser right now – not sure if it is compatibility with 64 bit though?

On the download page where you select your operating system, it doesn’t have Windows 7 or 64 bit on the list. I’m going to download it and try it, if it’s not compatible I suggest make it W7 and 64 bit compatible. ;D

roboform is great for this

BankID looks to be nothing more than a Client Certificate. (Although, I can’t tell) Nothing needs to be built into the browser. Support for BankID would have to come from BankID. They need to ensure their product works with Chrome. I can tell you this, we at Comodo have a similar product called “Comodo Two Factor”. We didn’t have support for Chrome in our early version of this product, but now we do.

whats comodo two factor?

Hey, how 'bout this; everyone who wants to use FF…use FF. :o Why does everyone want to make every browser FF? Dragon is based on Chromium, not Mozilla. Mozilla has made FF into a bloated resource hog and now they (users) seem to wanna do it to all of the other browsers. 88) I know this sounds crazy but bear with me: How about let’s make Dragon…different!

too late! comodo is already chrome…

Comodo should concentrate on creating security plugins only (to make the most secure browser). Users should create plugins for usability only and leave Comodo to secure CD.

What do you mean? CD is Chromium based ala’ SRWare Iron but it’s not Chrome.

Chrome is Google’s implementation of the Chromium Project. There are differences between the two. Dragon is based off of Chromium and not Chrome.
