One of the great things about open-source software is that it allows anyone with a good idea to improve upon an existing product. Security experts Comodo have done just that with Google's Chromium, taking the code and making it into Comodo Dragon, a security-focused browser.
If you're familiar with Chrome, you'll find Comodo Dragon very easy to use. Even if you're not a Chrome user, it won't take you long to figure out how things work. The overall appearance of Comodo Dragon is very similar to Chrome and you can even use the same themes, which makes it an attractive and flexible browser.
What makes it different?
Obviously, Comodo Dragon's security features are its main draw. How exactly it implements these features, however, is a bit of a mystery. Even the Comodo website doesn't shed any light, saying that users need more privacy and security, but not explaining how they provide it. If you compare Chrome and Comodo Dragon's options side-by-side, you'll see differences, but you'll need a good knowledge of the browsers to understand what these differences mean in practical terms.
Comodo Dragon is a comfortable browser that is easy to use. Existing Comodo fans might be happy to trust in the company's vague-sounding "Superior Security and Privacy", but the rest of us would like just a little more information.
Comodo Dragon's claims sound great, and using it is a smooth ride, but its security advantage over Chrome needs way more explanation.
