My ways of staying safe while online...
I use the most secure browser which is Chrome. I always run my browsers in Sandboxie unless I am updating, changing settings or adding &/or removing an extension.

I am extremely careful no matter what site i'm on (I don't click anything and everything) I have a few different web filters (Eset being one of them) which add to my layer of security...most of the time I have my system partition in Shadow Mode so if anything bad happens all I have to do is reboot and malware is gone.

I run scans whenever I feel it's time (no set schedule), If I want to test a questionable file or just try a new piece of software I can either run it in the sandbox or use VMware for my testing.

All my programs and plugins are updated using filehippo updater or I manually search for an update.

If my computer starts acting weird or something bypasses ALL my security (which is highly unlikely) I have a couple backups on my external hdd so in less then 30 min I'm back in business.

That's about it for now unless I remember something in the future.
When in doubt don't click it or download it!

Be Safe
Happy Surfing

Which browser do you prefer most? Comodo Dragon or IceDragon and why?
Whos is safest?

[Overkill]

I really like IceDragon (alot faster than any other mozilla based browser i've tried) butttttt I am so used to using chromium browsers I have to say Dragon is my fav and since it has a built-in sandbox (like chrome) I'd say it's the safest.

[Nikos]

i didnt knew comodo dragon has buitl in sandbox! thats greta news!

So icedragon is not based on chromium as dragon is but is based on firefox right?

what about speed and lightness on sytem resouces between those too?

[Overkill]

IceDragon is Mozilla based and Dragon is Chromium based

Um.....IceDragon takes as long to startup as FF and around the same memory (currently 182K with 1 tab opened) but it's as quick as a cat switching to new tabs and opening new tabs, FF just drags along like a turtle atleast on my machine.

Useful links:

However, I recommend watching this for easier understanding.

Sort of...

The automatic sandbox is restriction based. Very similar to the way the Chrome sandbox works.

If you want a fully virtualized sandbox environment, (similar to Sandboxie) you will need to utilize the manual sandbox in CIS.
