With Pay Mode you can perform all your financial transactions in peace, without fear of your password or other personal details being stolen. Pay Mode runs automatically on banking site, but it can be also turned on manually.

It works without changing the certificates and the security parameters and certificates are verified by the browser itself, including checks for untrusted or revoked certificates.

They should probably make a big announcement for the NG (or whatever it is called now) for marketing purposes. :D Geeks will surely line up to test its effectiveness. :D

So in IE.. WebShield will work like old WebShield or not work at all?

So you didn't get chrome, google toolbar install options during upgrade process?
If you have chrome, google toolbar already installed then guess you dont get the install options.

No toolbar or PUP's. After the upgrade to 2016 all the settings are saved, I don't need to set it again. I also notice that is uses less memory then the 2015 version. I love it.

In my opinion, the GUI of 2016 is much better than 2015.:)
I should say that I do not like the dark theme of 2015.

The hardened mode still highly depends on the network connection...just like 2015.

Have they removed ads popups, GUI ads, chrome, google toolbar, etc... in this new release?

In the installation of the free version, the options of "install chrome" and "set chrome as the default browser" are checked by default.
It is not difficult to uncheck them though.;)
