Do You Use Google Chrome Browser ?

I'm pretty sure the sandboxing on tabs is the same as Chrome, but its flash isn't built-in like Chrome.

 

Not sandboxing Flash is a biggie in my opinion.

 

I think it's been controversial, but it has to be safer sandboxing Flash.

 

I would certainly say it's safer, yes.

 

Yes, it's my uber main browser.
Not gonna change it unless they stop developing it which i think won't happen anytime

 

This is false.

 

The day browser makers invent browser that manages to protect user from itself, I will tell you which one is safe. Until then, this is all very much a matter of personal preference, there is no such thing as a safer browser, this is nothing but a marketing idea supported with some dubious tests

 

@ fsr:

it would be nice if you could back up your claims with some sources.

otherwise, there isn't much to discuss...

 

Please tell me you know there are number of vulnerabilities sucessfuly being exploited against Windows - not just Flash?

 

i like to see a browser run its subprocesses with a Low Integrity level.
i don't feel safe using a browser that do not support this feature.

out of the box, only IE and Chrome support that feature.
i'd rather use a browser that has some sandboxing capability than a browser who has none.

i spent a few hours a couple weeks ago trying to get deliberately infected with drive-by malware using Chrome.
i could net get infected.

this is not something i would want to try with a 'stock' Opera or Firefox.

 

No, I'm an very happy Opera user.

 

I've used Google Chrome, but it is not installed in Program Files folder making me confused. I'm using Comodo Dragon instead.

 

Download Google Chrome using the second link in the page -http://www.google.com/support/installer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=126299

It will install to Program Files.

 

Umm, no crap, Sherlock. However, Flash is very often exploited and anything to mitigate the risk, which the sandbox in Chrome does, is a good thing. I really don't get where this "there is no safer browser" comes from..sources please? Chrome and IE 9 are the safest browsers around, if one goes by the built-in mitigation they use. However, that does not mean they are foolproof. There is such a thing as safer software, but there is no such thing as 100% security. By the way, for the sake of keeping things OT, no, I do not use Chrome at the moment.

 

I use SRWare Iron for privacy.

 

lol

Low integrity is basically the definition of protecting a user form themselves. IT assumes that the process will be successfully broken through and then attempts to restrict it.

But pleeeeease argue with me.

 

Thank you for your link, I had long looked for a version for all users.

 

Never used it and never will.

 

Never ever forever?

 

Exactly. I never use anything google/microsoftrelated if I don't have to.

 

Aha, why is that?

 

I can sort go with not wanting to use MS but what's wrong with Google?

 

I can't really understand either and I don't like Microsoft at all.

As for Google, it's probably some misinformation about non-existent privacy concerns.

 

Privacy rings a bell?
