Battle Is Google Chrome Browser That Good ?

[marg]

I am thinking of downloading Google Chrome. I would like user input before I do. It says it protects you from Malware/Phishing/Drive by downloads etc.... How really good is it at this & have you ever been saved from this stuff or is it just hype? Have you ever been infected by using this Browser? Thanks! marg

I disabled it as I feel it is a way google can spy on me .

If you ever type your name into Google, do you also type about 20 other names in afterwards so as it just looks like you were searchin for random names? ps. I've done that before, paranoid as I can be lol

Torch is fake browser (trojan). I dont recommend it, unless you want to infect your operating system.

It depends on which Torch browser you are talking about, the official version is open-source and is safe to use.
There are fake version available that include malware also fake versions of Baidu Spark with malware.

Enjoy!!

If you want Chromium, please go to Opera.
It uses Yandex and Google Safebrowsings. I saw Yandex safe browsing in some phishing sites. (my experinece)

try 369 browser been using it and its way faster than chrome has some security features built-in too

Seems Legit...

360 Browser to 369.

I totally disagree.

Google's SafeBrowsing is one of the most effective at blocking malicious and phishing sites, from my experience.

Malware and Phishing protection is enabled by default. It also blocks known malicious download, similar to SmartScreen Filter in IE.

From my experience over at Malware Hub, Google Chrome's safe browsing catches phishing sites better than IE smart screen does - at least Google puts the signatures in faster than Microsoft does. Like some other posters above have written, IE is quite buggy, lots of "Internet Explorer has stopped working" messages.

Google Chrome is, again, my main browser. I ditched Pale Moon (Intel Atom-optimized).
Google Chrome, at least to me, is less laggy than Pale Moon. Pale Moon usually rendered pages faster than Chrome but after some time the browser would lag and freeze just like Firefox and Cyberfox.

Nope. not on my end. I used it way back 2012 when Chrome won't run on my system. Never had an infection back then. I'm more of an FF and SRWare Iron user.

Not a sole mention of Comodo Dragon,this is my replacement for Chrome.And a little bit of paranoia,as it's always sandboxed.

hehe, Comodo is less safe then Google Chrome

Damn there are lot of paranoid people here haha , Google spying on you?
Ok who cares? what are you afraid of them finding out about you?
Only reason to care would be if you are an criminal or if some goverment is after you i would say

Apparently "I'm spying on you" and "Keep Calm While We Steal Your Data" are what google is doing.

I wouldn't be happy if some advertising company knew every website you were browsing, every app you were using, etc.

I really don't think so...

I really don't think so...

i think so

- chrome is the first to fix vulnerabilities, then the others follows weeks afters
- chrome has sandboxed flashplayer, the others not.

- dragon just add some privacy stuff, you can get the same with some chrome addons
- dragon use Comodo DNS, i can get this too for Chrome

Sometimes Comodo Dragon falls several months behind on critical vulnerability patches.
I remember a few times over 7 months behind fixing vulnerabilities and for privacy wise Comodo Dragon collects user data with no opt-outs and send it to home. I don't know if any extensions can block that but plenty can block Google tracking.

Enjoy!!

Comodo Dragon is severely behind, and lacking security patches of the Chromium base, it is full of vulnerabilities..

For those concerned with privacy from Google, and are using firefox, or other Chromium browser's, you should really look inside your browser, chances are you will still find Google attached in one way or another...

Firefox for example, type "about:config" then list how many times you see "Google" in your none Google browser
