And… I suspect that Comodo has hired a freshman from the local community college, with a minor in Computer Science, to work part-time, every 3rd Tuesday of the month, IF it falls on an even numbered day, to keep Dragon updated. I can’t justify why I even have it installed.Īfter almost two years of trying very hard to be patient I’ve come to the conclusion that Dragon is just a “hobby” for Comodo and that I need to look elsewhere for my default chromium browser. What they need to do, in my opinion, is spend less time on the theme and extensions and focus on the browser core and releasing significantly more timely updates. Generally comparable performance to Chrome and has always used less memory but then it is still 32 bit, it has Chrome Sync and some added options in the settings menu. A week after the initial release of v57 there was a minor update () to disable hardware acceleration, the option in the browser settings is now greyed out.Įven though I’ve always removed the default Dragon theme and all of their extensions, I’ve liked Dragon. And to top it off it’s not even a stable version. Dragon v57 was in reality released seven weeks after the above statements claimed it would be which has become typical for Comodo. Our goal is to keep up with Chromium releases with our next target Dragon 57 shortly and the the Chromium 57 release.Ĭomodo Dragon eventually updated to v57 (9.5.17) almost three weeks after Chrome was on v58 (19.4.17). We intent to keep up with Chromium releases. We want to catch Chromium 57 a week or so after it’s release. Our current plan is to skip Dragon 56 and move to Dragon 57 aiming for a release of Dragon 57 release around the 3rd week in March, shortly after Chromium 57. If just talking about the supposedly stable builds, Comodo Dragon v52 (12.9.16) was updated to v55 (23.3.17) AFTER Chrome had been on v57 (9.3.17) for two weeks. “The biggest “lagger” is UC Browser” that surprises me. Now You: Do you run a Chromium based browser? Which and why? Anything less means that it will lag behind and remains vulnerable to security issues that were fixed already by the Chromium team. This means that the browser is vulnerable to attacks that are fixed already in other browsers.Ī rule of thumb would be that a browser should be updated at least once a month to keep up with Chromium development. This is bad from a security perspective for the most part, as security fix implementations are delayed. SRWare Iron: The browser of the future - based on the free Sourcecode 'Chromium' - without any problems at privacy and security Googles Web browser Chrome thrilled with an extremely fast site rendering, a sleek design and innovative features. Some browsers are updated infrequently only, and they may lack versions behind when compared to releases of browsers that are updated regularly. There is a wide disparity when it comes to Chromium-browser releases. Google Chrome is updated more frequently, and when it is updated, it is with newer builds of Chromium when compared to the releases of Vivaldi or Opera. While the updates are not as often as those of Google Chrome, it is probably not too big of an issue. Opera, Vivaldi and also SRWare Iron are updated regularly (usually once a month), and each update brings along with it a Chromium version increase. The Comodo Dragon browser falls in that category which seems to lag one or two versions behind the browsers that get updated more frequently. ![]() Other browsers don't lag that much behind releases, but they are not updated super fast either. The biggest "lagger" is UC Browser, which was last updated in February 2017 to a Chromium version that was released in April 2016. The only drawback of Iron is that, due to security measures, it doesn't integrate an automatic updater, so we'll have to access the developer's website quite often to obtain the latest updates to the browser.If you take a close look at the table, you will notice that third-party Chromium-based browsers lack behind more or less when it comes to updates. Furthermore, it already integrates an ad blocker in the browser, something that isn't included in Chrome.įast loading and ad blocking without sacrificing your privacy. In all other features, Iron is identical to Google Chrome, using the same JavaScript engine that out-speeds all other browsers while browsing and loading websites, and its model tab treatment, that separates each tab as a different process. It also has special care in the way that the cookies and the browser's cache are handled. Of all the information that Google Chrome shares, Iron avoids sending information such as ID Client, Error Reporting or Google Updater, among others. Google Chrome is a browser that is gaining plenty of prominence day after day, with great innovations and very good implementations, but some users aren't at all pleased with the privacy that it offers, that is why the company SRWare has created Iron.
