What do you think about that ??
Comodo Dragon is dead ??

No. They will continue to develop their 3 browsers. I knew this. They will hire new developers for Comodo IceDragon.
Present, They will release a new Comodo Dragon release soon, and they develop Chromium Secure too.

How is it different from Comodo Dragon

 

[thepierrezou]

"Currently there are a couple of technical differences with Dragon having a feature list which is a superset of the features in Chromium Secure. Shortly this will disappear as we add the last couple of features to Chromium Secure (such as force SSL connections for sites visited) and we’ll be releasing a new version of Dragon too also based on this later Chromium codebase."

What's the difference between "Comodo Chromium Secure Browser" and Chromium?

Also any changelog, or Comodo forum post or webpage?

For Comodo we want to currently keep the Comodo Dragon branding we add to our browser to reflect Comodo’s colours (just like this forum) and a lot of our user love it with things like Dragon logos as forums avatars and even desktop wallpapers. At the same time we’ve had a lot of demand from users and our partner distribution channels for a browser with the same look and feel as Chromium but with the same added value of Comodo’s DNA of security. This is where Chromium Secure comes in.

Can I use both dragon and chromium secure at the same time? do they share any files or profile info?

CD and CS are two different browsers and they do not use same profile. You can use them at the same time.

Hi there the only thing I noticed unless I missed it was that Chromium Secure did not offer or use Comodo DNS which is clearly offered in there other browsers.

and portable version, too.

Hmm yeah i also saw that post, also noticed 'Shane' has not been so active lately.
The Comodo conspiracy continues

 

[Cavehomme]

I despair with Comodo and their browsers. This is the most prevalent attack vector for malware and yet the updates / fixes to their browsers is appalling, especially considering it's a security company.

Downloaded Chromium Secure today, showing as Version 36.1.1.3, which means that it has not really advanced in the past few months since these comments were made above, certainly no option for Comodo DNS, only the standard "Enable phishing and malware protection". So how can this browser be equal or more secure to Dragon? CD is at Version 36.1.1.21 which leads me to believe CS is behind CD in updates?

The advertising on their download site highlights CS as being "New Release!".....yeh, sure it is....not.

I won't even mention IceDragon how far behind that is.

I used to respect Comodo, but this kind of neglect of a vital security product is sheer negligence. They'd be better off pulling the products or labelling them as beta not to be used in production, rather than fool people into believe these products are constantly updated in line with upstream security and other fixes.

Can someone from Comodo please give the community a detailed and accurate update about what is happening and when, rather than more marketing bull?
