description Comodo Dragon Overview
Comodo Dragon is a free web browser designed to prioritize user privacy and online security. Built on Firefox, it incorporates advanced tracking prevention technology that blocks numerous data trackers by default. A key feature is its sandboxed environment which isolates browsing activity, mitigating potential malware threats. This makes Comodo Dragon suitable for individuals concerned about online surveillance and seeking an extra layer of protection while navigating the internet.
help Comodo Dragon FAQ
Is Comodo Dragon based on Chrome or on Firefox?
Comodo Dragon is built on Chromium, the open-source engine behind Google Chrome, so it looks and behaves much like Chrome. If you specifically want Comodo's Firefox-based variant, that's a separate browser called IceDragon.
Is Comodo Dragon free, and what platforms does it run on?
Yes, it's free, and it's a Windows-only browser — there's no official macOS or Linux build. It comes from Comodo, the New Jersey-based internet security company known for its antivirus and certificate business.
Can I use my Chrome extensions and Chrome profile sync in Comodo Dragon?
Because it's a Chromium fork, extensions from the Chrome Web Store generally install fine. However, Dragon deliberately removes Google's account sign-in and sync hooks, so your Chrome profile won't carry over.
What privacy changes does Comodo Dragon actually make compared with Chrome?
It strips out Google-specific features such as the RLZ tracking parameter and installation ID, and it offers Comodo Secure DNS as an option for domain filtering. The site-isolation behavior largely inherits Chromium's sandboxing model.
