Greenborder is an astounding program and works well but my concern is how google will manipulate the current code to work in its favour, just how will any addon or extension fare which interferes with pushing advertising into peoples faces?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-78489834662982087332007-07-12T05:13:00.000-07:002007-07-12T05:13:00.000-07:00Sandboxie for the WIN :DSandboxie for the WIN :DKDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989939098007816361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-35488612291062188832007-07-12T05:12:00.000-07:002007-07-12T05:12:00.000-07:00i'll go for Sandboxiei'll go for SandboxieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-28920164762751076992007-05-31T17:53:00.000-07:002007-05-31T17:53:00.000-07:00We used sandboxes for testing software application...We used sandboxes for testing software applications. How about a web sandbox? <BR/><BR/>I am sure you have seen a lot similar solutions around. Even without a web sandbox, the conventional practice is just to have AV, Firewall and a bit common sense.<BR/><BR/>The catches here are:<BR/>1. User Friendly<BR/>2. Google's adoption. <BR/><BR/>If it is free, I would use it for my guesses in the living room and for my parent. I would set up some Limited User Accounts and run GreenBorder. No matter how uncareful they are when surfing the internet, my computer system is still safe.Zijian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275514659971793139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-17239053527118208832007-05-30T16:40:00.000-07:002007-05-30T16:40:00.000-07:00As explained, I really don't see a use for this "p...As explained, I really don't see a use for this "pay" product. Being almost the king of surfing, I often don't know where I'm going and whether or not I might want to save something from a website. I use CALLINGID to warn about web sites and an AV program to get the baddies before they get on my computer. What's the advantage to me in spending my hard earned on another program?
