I kinda doubt that will ever happen.Good news, thanks for sharing
Waiting for Sandboxie support and then Edge will be a point of reference.
Unfortunately, I think the same...I kinda doubt that will ever happen.
No reason for that. Edge sandbox is good enough and messing with appcontained processes is not a good idea.Good news, thanks for sharing

The built-in sandbox in Edge may not be enough protection because the sandbox would cover only the Internet activities and does not verify, for example, a malicious executable file that you downloaded from the web which could be contained in a classic sandbox such as Sandboxie.No reason for that.

Sure but you can control execution with another program. It doesn't have to be done by edge and it shouldn't be done by edge because not all users know enough like you.The built-in sandbox in Edge may not be enough protection because the sandbox would cover only the Internet activities and does not verify, for example, a malicious executable file that you downloaded from the web which could be contained in a classic sandbox such as Sandboxie.
Generally the browser open in classic sandbox would give adequate protection, by combining the tools in the sandbox of the browser and those of the sandbox that contains it, in this case Sandboxie.
You mean the stuff Smartscreen is supposed to protect you from (As long as the user doesn't disable it)The built-in sandbox in Edge may not be enough protection because the sandbox would cover only the Internet activities and does not verify, for example, a malicious executable file that you downloaded from the web which could be contained in a classic sandbox such as Sandboxie.

I'm not saying that your reasoning is wrong, and Smartscreen certainly would make his work but Sandboxie and Edge sandbox are not the same stuff and the maximum protection you get by using a classical sandbox.You mean the stuff Smartscreen is supposed to protect you from (As long as the user doesn't disable it)
