This build introduces a couple of quality-of-life improvements [...]

As far as I'm aware. DavidXanatos does not monitor MalwareTips.
Maybe, post over on Wilders - Sandboxie-Plus v1.6.2

Also for improved reliability you can check the downloads on the project homepage: Downloads | Sandboxie-Plus where only known good builds are posted about a week or two after the github release.

Question: I was longtime paid user of sandboxie in olden times, when Ronen Tzur was coding it. I see some info at wilders... Not immediately seeing, how best to config sandboxie now-a-days, win10. Also saw reference to "supporter certificate" --

Supporter-Certificate | Sandboxie-Plus

it apparently unlocks more features. Y'all have a cert?

I tried Sandboxie a few months ago and I also had a paid Sandboxie when Ronan Tzur was developing it (it was in my Windows-XP sandbox period when I also had licenses of GeSWall and DefenseWall and wanted to support those innovative developers for a few bucks).

It looked that all the old paid features were free using the classic interface version. David Xanatos has further developed the features of the sandbox (like privacy enhanced sandbox, security enhanced sandbox and compatibility enhanced sandbox) which are only available after a certain donation (making these features payware).

I tested my favourite combo (Sandboxie with Firefox) and everything worked smoothly using the classic GUI. So when you want to try out Sandboxie for oldschool purposes (only sandboxing your internet facing applications), the free versions works well.

haha! I used DefenseWall too way_back. I bought a "small" cert before I saw your post, but I would have anyway as I like to support some of the one-man shops. I read folks are using sbie+ with both FF and Edge. I'll play with it later today. Thanks!!

I invested in a medium supporter's certificate, seeing as I do a little online banking now and then (thanks for jacking up my dumb-phone rates, ATT ). Wasn't quite sure how secure an unpaid version was relative to the hardened ones so I opted to pay for SBIE.

If I didn't do some online financial stuff, I would prob. still be on the free version.

Sandboxie-Plus v1.3.0

No doubt I'm probably the only Sandboxie user on this forum (and elsewhere) that keeps the "plus" version up-to-date and hopes for the best that...

If I'm gonna fund another patreon every month, I'd have to drop one I'm already funding. But I made a one-time (annual) donation via paypal and DavidX sent me one, or I think he did, I haven't gotten around to installing yet, but plan to later today.

Build 1.6.2b is up on the update server
[1.6.2b / 5.61.2] - 2022-12-21

Sandboxie-Plus v1.6.2

I fell asleep last night and did not get around to installing Sandboxie-Plus-x64-v1.6.2. I plan to install v1.6.2 very soon. After I install it, does it check for updates and will it auto-install v1.6.2b, or do I have to manually download 2b, and if yes, I think I read that newer versions install over older versions, ie, you do not have to uninstall the older version first, correct?

EDIT: installed v1.6.2, then inserted my supporter certificate, but seeing some issues, ie, I think I have to tweak and bend to get sbie+ to work correctly with AppGuard AGv6.7. I get sbie+ popup errors
1409 templates.ini file cannot be opened [C00000022]
1409 configuration file error in line 37 [C00000022]

I do see that sbie+ alerts me to app updates, specifically v1.6.2b. I don't know the finer points of AG well enough at this point, to make the optimal AG tweaks, it seems to be more involved than just clicking a box in AG to exclude sbie+. AG does not like files in \user\appdata, \windows\sandboxie.ini, could be as easy as making sbie+ an AG power application, but see AG warning about doing this carefully and with knowledge what you are doing. Easy day turning into harder day...

EDIT2: I registered at xanasoft forum to post sbie+ question, I login ok, draft message, submit, and it bounces back to a login page with message "You need to login in order to post within this forum" and my brain cells go WTF! so I logged in again, and ditto. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, or not??" Twice is enough for me. sbie+ has been uninstalled with extreme prejudice.

Maybe, wait a few days (or longer) after any release for the dust to settle. Unless you have a specific issue addressed by a release. No need to be first in line. IMO

When he releases a new version occasionally someone will find a bug, he then corrects and releases a newer version.

ok, this was my first install of sbie in many years, and it was not a clean install, so I uninstalled it. I will try it again next week.

Sandboxie Plus 1.6.3 was not able startup Firefox 108.0.1, nor was it able to startup Chrome 108.0.5359.125

Yeah, that's just not true. That may be an issue with your config, but I am able to launch both perfectly fine.

However, I applied Windows Defender App & Browser Control > Exploit Protections. Firefox and Chrome runs. Except under SandboxiePlus. All you need to do to add Windows Defender Exploit protection is to checkmark each item and then see if the program still runs. Do this one item at a time (there are only 22 protections to try and some of them are by default On.
