heavy duty, indeed.

do you think that those custom browsers you have are really more secure than google chrome at proper security settings?
chromium-based browsers like Comodo Dragon are at a disadvantage when it comes to patches and to rigorous testing.

Thanks shmu26. Um, on the browsers (Dragon in this case)...well, the extensions are kind of interesting. I forgot to mention those. Here they are by name:

Comodo Media Grabber
Comodo Share Page Service
Comodo WebInspector

The WebInspector extension looks OK, but it only appears in Dragon in the Admin account for me at the present time. I think I accidently deleted the extension (or accidently on purpose accidently) in the user space. Fairly certain WebInspector checks the elements of a page to make sure they are safe. It takes several seconds to run a check, but viewing the results happens in a second page, which is not ideal for me personally (wonder if there is an extension that doesn't use a separate page for the analysis?). Back on Dragon, I have two buttons in the extensions area that I can't attribute directly to an extension. One says "Secure connections enforced" (green/gray lock icon) and then a light blue lock icon that says "IP/DNS Data". These are aside from HTTPs E, uBlock, 360 WebSafe, and the Comodo extension buttons. I am curious if anyone knows what these are? Maybe they are associated with HTTPs E? If they are built into Dragon, I guess that would cause me to say that Dragon is more secure out of the box for a user who doesn't know about extensions. Otherwise, I can't SEE(?) how it's more secure. I like Comodo's idea, and maybe they can come up with some smash hit extension improvements for their browsers. I would like to see that personally.

To sum it up, I don't know what is hard coded into Dragon's version of the Webkit browsers as compared to Google's. Maybe there are some small settings and subtle changes that can be made, but I would say for now not really.
