What's A Good Sandboxie alternative

I am looking for a Sandboxie alternative that functions the same way. SBie has my FF down to a crawl of 28 seconds loading on a cold startup. It's not the add-ons of FF as I thought. If anyone has any good suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

 

Don't think there is one that works 'the same way'...?

For something similar, and at application rather than system level, I only know of Altiris SVS

I'd be very interested in this too.
Sadly sandboxie crashed my pc the two times i tried it.

 

Hmm.
I wasn't aware that Altiris is part of Symantec now.

Maybe there's a conflict between Sandboxie and one of your other programs. Sandboxie adds about 3-5 secs to the opening of Firefox for me. Cold start to my customized iGoogle page in 10 sec.

On Vista Home I'm running Edge trial mode, Returnil free anti-execute function only, LUA with surun and Lucy's SRP tweak found elsewhere on this forum. No resident AV.

I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm also running Perfectdisk 8 for my defragmenter.

 

Yep same here. I'm using FF beta 3.1 #3 with SBIE 3.34 and it absolutely flys. I'm also using CIS (Safe mode/Clean PC mode/Stateful AV). Running on Vista Home (sp1). It doesn't hurt that I have 3G memory and dual core 3.0G processor.

 

I'm running an AMD dual core laptop with 2G memory. Going to try the new CIS on my desktop with SBIE.

Anyway maybe there's a conflict with OA by chance? https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=232088

 

What about GesWall or DropMyRights or LUA?

 

Someone is makeing a good suggestion,

I have chrome running in GeSWall Pro (you can also use free) with these settings

Resource Type Access
%HKCU%\Software\Google% File Allow
%HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache% File Allow
%HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cookies% File Allow
%HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\History% File Allow
%HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Local AppData%\Google\Chromium\ File Allow
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium File Allow

\Device\NamedPipe\chrome File Allow
\Device\NamedPipe\lsass File Redirect
C:\ File Read Only
D:\ File Redirect
D:\Downloads File Allow
D:\TEMP File Allow
HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry Redirect
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Read Only

Red meaning allowing internet access, Green limiting access rights of Chromium to HKLM, C and to read only, Redirect (is virtualise, throw away after Chromium closes) of D:\ and HKU registry hive. Chromium is only allowed to write to the download directory and a few of its own directories.

Chromium applies a sandbox between the main application and the rendering engine, with this settings the main Chromium application is sandboxed also.

Combo GeSWall and Chromium is startup times < 1 sec at a E5200@3,06Ghz

Firefox was too slow for me too,but with the latest beta and Chrome there is no delay at all.It runs faster than with Firefox on its own.

 

Yep,

It is up to your own taste. I just like the internal sandbox of Chrome. See Arup's/Longboard's thread, MrBrian's post links to extract of winning hacker interview see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1427832&postcount=9

So I figured when Chrome was hard to beat by itself, what about a double sandbox layer When a bunch of people are being chased by a lion, to survive you do not have to outrun the lion, only the slowest human chased

 

The only problem if you want to call it a problem with SBIE is on the initial startup of the Web browsers (IE8 or FF3.1) it takes about 12secs longer. After that, it loads pages just as fast as without the sandbox. The 12secs I can live with based on the security you get with any sandbox. After browsing, flush the toilet.

I did a little more experimenting. With SBie uninstalled, FF takes 17 seconds to load on a cold start, and 4 seconds thereafter. With SBie installed, FF takes 28 to 30 seconds to load on a cold start and 17 seconds thereafter. I've been using FF about 3 years and I can remember when it took 7 seconds on a cold start. What's different? IE7 takes 4 seconds and has always taken 4 seconds. Too bad it's a dud.

 

Maybe this is why Firefox has slowed down. http://ryanschwartz.net/2009/03/19/adventures-in-firefox-placessqlite

 

Thanks for the info, but that's not it.

 

More experimenting. I installed Opera (again). It takes 10 seconds to load on a cold start, and 3 to 4 seconds on subsequent starts. I then made Opera my default browser, and ran it in SBie. It took 20 seconds to load on a cold start. See my results for FF above.
