"Fast and versatile Internet Browser based on Chromium, infused with Comodo's unparalleled level of Security
Features
Improved Privacy over Chromium
Easy SSL Certificate Identification
Fast Website Access
Greater Stability and Less Memory Bloat
Incognito Mode Stops Cookies, Improves Privacy
Very easy to switch from your Browser to the Dragon
Why is a Browser that provides greater security and privacy necessary?
Simple. The Internet has grown up. Malware plagues the Internet. In 2009 alone, more than 25 million new strains of malware were created, causing a 400% jump in compromised Web sites worldwide. Venturing onto the Web today (in an age in which one continually reveals social security, bank account and credit card numbers as well as a plethora of other sensitive data) can be like walking down a hallway with portraits on the walls. Portraits with eyes that watch everything you do and people hidden behind them ready to take advantage, based on what you let them see! --- Never have you needed to protect your privacy more on the Web!
"
And yet, the installer tried to connect don't know where right after it finished deploying this "very secure" browser. I wonder what is it securing?
"What's the difference between Google Chrome and Comodo Dragon?

I just wasn't happy with the fact that it tried to phone somewhere right after installation! What is that about? They talk about the most secure browser, and it does this! It could've only tried to search for updates, I don't know, but isn't it nice to tell the user that before doing it? At least this is what I would've expected!
I'll try to install it another time 'cause I didn't catch that ip address.
Edit: I say basic launcher because except mui referances this application doesnt seem to leave any registry traces.
The only registry entries handled by the launcher are for moz flash plugins if used.It just retrieves the appdata and clears the temp file left behind after shutdown.

It's probably all about checking updates (but not sure); nevertheless, I hate this behavior (phoning home without asking)!
It's possible to choose a portable mode during the installation of Comodo Dragon (be careful because the change of DNS servers is offered).
I couldn't uniextract the installer (my uniextract is up-to-date), so I had to run it (requires admin rights), but after that you've got a portable package that works on limited accounts if necessary. It's stealth for me, although some keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Disallowed\Certificates were modified when I was using my admin account.
So, I think it's better to move this thread to the Submission forum.
I think there is something wrong with the installer,it says is unpacking then just does nothing.
Maybe its something on my end,IDK.
I extracted it with 7zip and I must say it completely sucks.
You cant even access settings or anything,
not to mention it has some default extensions to share pages on facebook..WTF?
I had high hopes for this browser when jt first mentioned it but I stopped using it when it started doing mandatory updates...now it seems even worse.
what are these aholes thinking.

Lack of admin rights when running the installer?
Anyway, taking into account that it can be extracted (sometimes I forget to try with 7-Zip when Uniextract fails), I think is enough with a subfolder named User Data in the app folder to make it portable.
Let me know: are there any evident benefits in using Comodo DNS servers?
