This release introduces PrivAlert extension, a brand new anti-tracking browser tool. The purpose of PrivAlert is to detect trackers and malicious behavior of websites that you browse. The user is then notified about all that and can block them.

What's new:
- Dragon is based on Chromium 23.0.1271.97.
- Dragon now includes PrivAlert extension.

Fixed:
- Prevent "Did you mean..." message from showing when performing searches.
- Show plugin placeholder when Flash Player plugin is not enabled.
- Fixed "click to play" for plugins.

Is PrivAlert extension based on Ghostery or Do Not Track Plus? because it looks very similar.

Also is PrivAlert extension available for Google Chrome or is it only included with Dragon?

Thanks.

[KelvinW4]

Supposed to be with Dragon only I think. It's very similar, and does does the same thing.

Check your extensions, if it is not there then try re-installing.

I installed the portable version and it has PrivAlert.

Thanks.

From what im gathering in the forum, it is a new product, still in first stages of development, it is expected to be built up over time. PrivAlert is set to be much more than just anti-tracking tool. It will have its own website and forum up in a few short days according to the forum. I had an update come up this evening for Dragon, and it was there, i had to manually enable the Threats List, and seems to working quite well so far.

Melih says that it isn't based on anything else. I think with any sort of extension that does something similar, the results can be expected to be similar.

It's currently a part of Dragon, but the plans are to make it a standalone extension. It will ultimately do far more than it does at the moment.

[arsenaloyal]

What a joke

Trackers/beacons whats the difference?

Melih's response when questioned on this:

all these are companies.....threats....
google analytics, blue kai etc etc...if there are 18...then there are 18 companies...we are extending the reach..if we missed any pls let us know.

I would stick with DoNotTrackMe (by Abine), if I used anti-trackers.

i have always that doubt, does Dragon has the sandboxing feature of Chrome?

Yes, as with any Chromium based browser. Although I don't believe Chromium sandboxes Flash Player like Chrome does. (I could be mistaken, I don't use it)

 

[arsenaloyal]

Not all chromium based browsers have flash player inbuilt like google's chrome. So sandboxing for flash and other plugins (eg pdf ) is specific to chrome.

Is Umbra turning his back on Comodo??? Haha

If possible, Comodo should attempt to integrate their features into Dragon, rather than extensions.

What is PrivAlert?

What is PrivAlert?

a kind of Ghostery-style feature

a kind of Ghostery-style feature

Currently, but the goal is for it to do far more in the future. I can't say any more than that at the moment, sorry.
