    I've just installed a new browser, Dissenter - an "offspring" from BRAVE.
    Has anyone tried it?

    I hadn't heard of it but I may try it to test for compatibility, etc.

    Looks like it is not up to date by that screenshot? Chromium 80?

    Yes, it looks like a very old Chromium.

    Just had a quick look in Shadow Defender. Really not for me, seems abandoned.
    You cannot download from their main page (0 bytes) you have to go to Github.
    Chromium is v80. You cannot update it from within the browser. It is down via a service through Windows :confused: ?
    The screenshot which tells you about it.... if you click on the version and build number shown you end up at Brave (see below...look at tabs)
    Also a rather strange page is in one of the settings.

    Though you can update Firefox and Chrome through options in the browser menus, keep in mind they both have a Windows service they use for elevation to complete the update, so this is not as big a deal (at least to me) as it would seem. But yeah, if they are not updating this I have no interest in even trying it.

    Latest Chromium is v87.0.4280.141. v80 is ages old and very vulnerable. Seriously considering this old crap?

    If I could get BRAVE under my "privacy" control, I would not search for any other browsers.

    I think CLIQZ was retired more than a year ago...

    About Sphere Browser.

    "...it has two red flags- the default homepage has analytics, and you have to run analytics on your browser to download it."

    https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/sphere.html

    More about Linken Sphere.
    (It got my attention)

    Linken Sphere was first introduced on several Russian-speaking underground forums on July 4, 2017, by the threat actor “nevertheless.” Linken Sphere allows users to create multiple virtual accounts that imitate the activities of real users and provide unique device fingerprints. As a result, Linken Sphere has become popular among cybercriminals who seek to circumvent anti-fraud systems.

    And now the last thing about Sphere.

    @zmechys


    Cliqz Browser:
    It was retire on April 29, 2020.........


    Additionally, I have only find three browsers that work with
    Sandboxie.......

    Firefox and Palemoon........Plus, Puffin Secure Browser.
    I can run them within Sandboxie and once, I delete the sandbox
    most of BS is gone........
    For me they are keepers..... Because work with SandBoxie, period.
    Most of all of the other browsers will not work with SandBoxie.......
    Let me know, if you browser that will work with SandBoxie?

    Most individuals over look their browsers and just focus
    on security.....

    Just out of curiosity, what browsers do you use? And why?



    Always the best,

    Moose

    It used to be FIREFOX and/or some of its forks, but...
    Due to some internal issues and external influences, right now I'm using, primarily, Maiar, Vivaldi, but with caution.
    I used to have Cliqz, but I always needed to rename it to Firefox, in order to use with (THE MUST) Sandboxie.
    With Palemoon, I could not install a VPN proxy. That's a NO GO for me.

    About Puffin Secure Browser.
    Can I install a/any VPN proxies with Puffin?
    I'll check all your recommended browsers.
    Thank you.

    Never heard of Maiar may check it out. I use Brave and Vivaldi myself.

    Puffin looks cool but you need to pay for it?

    offer.


    Additionally, I have only find three browsers that work with
    SandBoxie. Firefox and Palemoon, plus, Puffin Secure Browser.+
    Let me know, if you find a browser that will work with SandBoxie?

    I was willing to try but since they want a credit card up front that is a hard pass for me.

    Hi,

    For your Browser, you may try
    Heilig Defense : CyDec's Anti-Fp,
    to stop fingerprinting targeting of your
    browsers.

    Yes, it cost money,


    Always the best,

    what a crap - most of its features make no browser work correct and the rest can be covered from browser itself or less intrusive extension.

    And yes, i can run any (naked) browser without issues in sandboxie. but even with extensions it is possible when extensions do not trigger sound effects (eg download sound). video+audio = no problem.
