Hello everybody, does anyone know what 360 Browser is like? I came across it on a download website, does anyone know if it is legit, it is not on Qihoo's official website?

It's not that bad, but I personally don't like qihoo (their privacy issues etc). There are lots of good browser on the market, so I actually don't see a reason why you should use this software (same with for example the avira browser)

Qihoo did offered a 360 browser, however it appears to have been discontinued in favor of their 360 extreme browser.
Which has a thread here
360 Extreme Explorer
Last time I checked, the english wasn't very complete. Guess that's why it still doesn't appear on the website.
EDIT: And that people is what happens when you take too long to post...Somebody else post the link before you

In my view, balance in terms of performance since its been implemented by Chrome or Chromium engine alongside of their protection module; but likely some people may tend to choose others instead due to scary 'privacy' issues.

You already say it, it's a chinese product. And according to many articles like this Privacy Issues With China's Qihoo 360 Technology, Which Provides Free Antivirus Software, Are Becoming More Public; But Qihoo Strongly Rebuts Accusations they've been accused of collecting people's data. If it's true, idk, and their av is very good apart from this, but when using a browser, i think there are (better) alternatives which are quite more waterproof and you don't need to take the 'risk' since it's just a browser. But of course it's the user's choice.

I don't know why people say that 360 has privacy issues, did you read the ToS, EULA ... of your AV? If not, you should.
I'm using WPS and I used 360 on my PC at work. Most Chinese products are ok

I have to admit that maybe every AV product or browser has it's downsides and want to make money. Maybe the press is pushing it a bit too much, that's true. If you like their products, why not using it of course, but I just don't feel the need to use their browser.I don't know why people say that 360 has privacy issues, did you read the ToS, EULA ... of your AV?

But they are of course ok, look at qihoo's av, which is very very popular and has very decent results in various tests. It just depends on the user if they trust it / like it or not.

I love AVG, they came out and said that "the truth", they are not hiding or lying. I wonder when other companies will to the same (not only AVs)

It being a Chinese product may scare some people but I highly doubt they have anything to worry about. When you first start installing the product it clearly asks you if you would like it to collect anonymous data to make the product better. You can easily opt-out of it. Plus other antiviruses such as avast! was spying on its users by using adware.

That's true. No AV product is waterproof and Avast and Bitdefender also have been accused indeed. Qihoo has a very strong AV, and everyone is free to use it or not as I said.

Agreed. If you are settled with your current browser, then there is no reason to try something new, unless you're planning on switching.I don't know
If it's not Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox or Chromium/Chrome, then it's probably a spin-off version.
