I've been looking into the compatibility issue and have noticed that its quite inconsistent, on my host PC msedge 91 runs just fine in the latest sbie + build While in my dev VM it just presents an empty window. Also in he dev VM the original chrome 91 seams to run just fine. @Sandboxer reported in the 0.7x thread that renaming msedge to firefox solves the issue for him. What tells me that the few suttle difference between firefox and chromium handling has a significant effect. Something I noticed a month ago when looking into the missing/failing HW acceleration issues witch chromium and electron apps was that the behavior was different in my VM and the host, I presume the used graphics card has here an impact on this behavior. So I would ask all users of the latest Sbie or Sbie+ build with and without msedge/chromium issues to report on their setup: 1. is everything working or i not what isn't 1a. is HW acceleration enabled 2. what graphics hardware is used and what OS 7, 8 or 10? 3. what if any workarounds work for them to fix issues?
Hi there. Very basic user here. 1. I do not typically run Edge sandboxed. I tried it just now with latest version 91.0.864.37. OK I will try to be as clear as possible and can upload a short video clip if needed. Here are several scenarios and all involve hardware acceleration. >If I set Edge to be forced to open in Sandboxie and then click the Edge icon on taskbar, it opens instantly but hardware acceleration is already turned OFF in Settings. >If I then Disable Forced Programs via the systray icon, Edge then opens but hardware acceleration is magically enabled again. However, there is a small message box from Edge about "Some profile features are not available. Something went wrong". This happens every time. Edge's homepage then loads. Fortunately, a machine restart made that box go away. 1a. Hardware acceleration is enabled in Firefox 89.0. Works well and as-intended. 2. NVIDIA GTX 1080 Founders Edition w/8GB of VRAM and driver version 466.27 on Windows 10 v. 19043.1023. 3. No fancy work-arounds. I just don't run Edge sandboxed, although if HWA is OFF, it works well and as-intended. The new issue of the Profile message box is also a deterrent to running Edge sandboxed at the moment.
1. Edge 91.0.864.41 discrete box works okay Chrome 91.0.4472.77 discrete box works okay 1a. hardware acceleration off 2. Intel UHD Graphics 620 (Dell) | W10 Home 21H1 (19043.1023) 3. none 0.7.4 / 5.49.7
1. Edge 91.0.864.37 working with no problems that I know - but I mainly use Firefox. 1a. Hardware acceleration OFF 2. Graphics Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8500 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3. No workarounds (run as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe") Sandboxie 0.7.4 Win 10 x64 v21H1 (build 19043.1023) Good to see you back David.
do not search on Chromium further, it run inside sandboxie also with HW acc and a full featured profile. (up to v93 canary) Edge latest do not run in sandboxie, it do not start "identity_helper.exe" so it remains a blank window. vivaldi wont start, it ends immedeatly. But it run fine (with admin rights only) in sandboxie under 10 LTSC Firefox never had any issues inside sandboxie here. Nvidia GPU here. Intel Quad core. Windows Defender only, no limits.
SBIE+ 0.7.4 using classic interface 5.49.7 MS Edge 91.0.864.37 1-1a. Hardware acceleration on Edge loads to white page. Hardware acceleration off Edge loads fine. 2. Graphics AMD Radeon HD5450 on Windows 10 20H2 19042.985 3. No workarounds other than turning hardware acceleration off.
1. Edge 91 and Chrome 91 works with no problems. I use more Firefox and Edge. Hardware acceleration ON. 2. Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz. 3. No workarounds. Sandboxie Classic 5.49.7. Win 10 x64 v21H1 (build 19043.1023)
I have, kind of, an issue with Edge and Sandboxie 5.49.7 (Hardware acceleration is On) My cleaning browsing history process never finishes when the MEDIA Foundation Data button is checked. If I uncheck that button, no issues with cleaning the browsing History. Also, I have no issues with Edge without Sandboxie when the Media Foundation Data button is checked.
@zmechys If you set sandboxie to automatically delete contents of sandbox no need to clean the browsing history!
Edge just updated to .41. This is also unchanged, I forgot to put it in my first post. Since Edge is set as default browser, if I Run Web Browser via the right-click menu in the systray Sandboxie icon, Edge still launches to a blank white page. HWA would be enabled, though I have no chance to check that obviously. Thank you for investigating.
Hey David nice to see you back in business again. Microsoft Edge is working fine here, i didn´t test Chrome, but i´m here to report that Firefox (Hardware Accelerated or not) is not working since .89 version. The weird thing is, some tabs are working while some are not, for example, this forum sometimes works sometimes not. When tabs are crashing i can see this error: Code: WerFault.exe (11464): SBIE2101 Object name not found: Unnamed object, error OpenProcess (C0000022) access=001FFFFF initialized=1 Windows 2H21; Sandboxie 0.7.4; latest WHQL AMD Graphic Driver.
strange for me ff runs just fine, is the failure entierly random or doe sit happen always on the same web sites? of so which once?
1. Latest FF working, Edge Version 91.0.864.41 (Official build) (64-bit) worked also (only short test in new created sandbox) 1a. Edge Yes, FF "use recomended performance settings" 2. Nvidia Gtx 1070ti, Windows 10 pro 20H2,19042.985 Sandboxie: 5.49.7
Please use the firefox thread for firefox issues also I have a test SbieDLL for you: https://xanasoft.com/Downloads/SbieDll_5.49.8a.zip Try replacing the SbieDll.dll you have currently with this one and report back on the chromium browser behavior. HowTo: Use the Plus UI to stop all components Please use the advanced menu to check if the driver is also stopped, i.e. the menu offers to start it not to stop it. If it is still running most likely its because of office click to run, in that case open an elevated command prompt and type "net stop ClickToRunSvc" once that is completed use the advanced menu to stop the driver. Than you should ne able to replace the SbieDll.dll With this dll on my host and in the VM chrome, vivaldi, and msedge start fine and according to chrome://gpu the HW acceleration is enabled I still have to look into electron apps like dischord, typora, and alike strangely even if they are detected as chromium based something fails not sure why :/
A lot of people are using various extensions, various "containers", etc... My setup is very simple - in the left tab I have the Browser's HISTORY and as soon as I leave this/that visited web-site, I close its tab, on the History tab I click on "Clear History". It opens a new tab, and after the history is cleared, that tab becomes my new browsing tab. It's just me. It's my method.
Don't get me wrong, but nobody talks about BRAVE and VIVALDI browsers that cannot (!) run anymore with Sandboxie. At this time, no more BRAVE and VIVALDI running Sandboxed! NOBODY has any SERIOUS issues with CHROME and EDGE! For months (maybe, years) I have had some pop-up messages while running Sandboxed Chrome (rarely, Edge), but that it. NOTHING SERIOUS.
Confirmed here with Vivaldi. Replacing the original dll with the test dll enables Vivaldi to run sandboxed again without having to use a workaround such as --no sandbox Had to stop all Sbie in taskmanager to be able to replace the original dll. Vivaldi 3.8.2259.42 (Stable channel) (64-bit) Revision f4b13ed6242bf56c4ddb1dc50244f52c9903e4eb OS Windows 10 OS Version 2009 (Build 19043.1023) No idea why it says that as I am on 21H1 as shown by build number JavaScript V8 9.0.257.29 User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/90.0.4430.214 Safari/537.36
I replaced the pre-existing .dll with your test .dll and in the scenario of opening Edge via New Box/Run Web Browser, it works perfectly. Hardware acceleration is enabled as well. Edge opens very quickly, like Firefox. I'm going to use this as-is for a while. Thanks, very nice.
With Sandboxie 5.49.7, I have opened (as Admin) Services, stopped the running Sandboxie service, and happily replaced the DLL file. With the replaced test DLL file, Vivaldi and Brave is running nicely in Sandboxie. Thank you, but... The Edge cleaning process never ends with that "MEDIA FOUNDATION DATA" button enable. It's an annoying thing to me.
