Comodo IceDragon

Comodo IceDragon is a safe and secure Internet browser based on the very same open-source web browser engine that powers Mozilla's Firefox. Like the Chrome-based Comodo Dragon, IceDragon provides a selection of security and also performance improvements to the browser core, such as enhanced social networks assimilation, fast page loading through Comodo's incorporated protected DNS service, and SiteInspector, which scans Websites for malware directly from the internet browser. IceDragon is completely suitable with all Firefox plug-ins as well as add-ons, also. There's currently no 64-bit IceDragon release, yet we tried the routine 32-bit version in 64-bit Windows 7 Residence Premium, and also it surfed with the ideal of them, as well as not simply Firefox however also Chrome as well as its Comodo cousin, Dragon. The most current variation, IceDragon v22, coincides as Mozilla's newest Firefox release, v22.

IceDragon's installment entails several alternatives, consisting of setting your Internet link to make use of Comodo's safe and secure (and also totally free) Secure DNS service constantly, simply with IceDragon (the default option, and also our choice) or not in any way. We started with our common broadband settings and after that attempted Comodo's DNS service. We might likewise create a portable version of the software as well as import favorites, cookies, passwords, and also various other information from our various other internet browsers. IceDragon has its own look. The most significant aesthetic difference between it and also Firefox is IceDragon's blue dragon mascot, though Comodo's icy-cool take on Mozilla's style fits the name, too. With our regular connection, IceDragon did well versus the current Firefox as well as Chrome releases in data transfer tests. While Chrome as well as Dragon generally tied for total rate champ, Firefox has narrowed the gap. The surprise was just how rapid IceDragon was with Comodo's Secure DNS solution: Still not as fast as Chrome or Dragon, yet close, and also constantly faster than box-standard Firefox. Speed typically paves the way to safety in proxy solutions, however Comodo's is the very first we've attempted that in fact made secure links quicker.

We have actually seen extra Firefox duplicates than we like keep in mind; and also the very same opts for Chrome. Yet IceDragon really sticks out; as well as the exact same opts for Dragon. Both Comodo internet browsers packed remarkably fast using Comodo's Secure DNS Solution. We're adding IceDragon to our routine roster.
