I am both lucky and stupid! Add real-time protection such as an antivirus program, HIPS or sandbox. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate x86 Service Pack 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz Motherboard Asus P5KPL-AM Motherboard Memory 2x1GB Apacer DDR2 667 MHz Graphics Card 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT Sound Card VIA Technologies High Definition Audio Device Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster 733NW Screen Resolution 1440x900 Keyboard Generic Plug & Play Keyboard Mouse Optical Mouse Case Custom Casing Cooling Ice cubes from the freezer ;) Hard Drives SEAGATE 320GB Barracudaź 7200.12, SATA 3 Gb/s, 7200 RPM, 16MB cache x 2 Internet Speed Very slow |

Thanks!  I have to admit, it's really good. It "resembles Chrome", but isn't Chrome. No on-board PDF reader, no on-board Flash (have to install non-IE flash like for Firefox). Also, all of the questionable privacy concerns (real or not) that Chrome has, are all removed in Dragon.........No phoning to the Google mother ship. Dragon also has some extra security features as well. Plus it has a really cool icon!  It seems to be a tad faster than Chrome, and comparing the about :memory tab, Dragon uses about 20,000k less RAM too.
EDIT: All Chrome extensions/themes from Chrome's Web Store work on Dragon. I am currently using a black theme and AdBlock. Also, the spell-check function is built in like Chrome.

And yes, for security reasons, Comodo Dragon doesn't have built-in stuff (e.g. PDF reader). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate x86 Service Pack 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33 GHz Motherboard Asus P5KPL-AM Motherboard Memory 2x1GB Apacer DDR2 667 MHz Graphics Card 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT Sound Card VIA Technologies High Definition Audio Device Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster 733NW Screen Resolution 1440x900 Keyboard Generic Plug & Play Keyboard Mouse Optical Mouse Case Custom Casing Cooling Ice cubes from the freezer ;) Hard Drives SEAGATE 320GB Barracudaź 7200.12, SATA 3 Gb/s, 7200 RPM, 16MB cache x 2 Internet Speed Very slow What security setup do you have? problems?
