Cost: Free
Size: 23.6MB
Version: 12.1
What is it: Comodo Dragon is a freeware web browser implementation of Chromium, and is produced by Internet security firm Comodo Group. Sporting a similar interface to Google Chrome, Dragon eliminates Chrome's usage tracking and some other potentially privacy-compromising features, and provides additional security measures, such as indicating the authenticity and relative strength of a website's SSL certificate.

Comodo Dragon sounds good, but it is only for Windows. Wonder if they will come out with a Linux version?

Chromium is available for Linux. Dragon is nothing more than Comodo's build and customization of the Chromium open source code. The same extensions and themes that work for Chrome/Chromium work for Dragon.

I believe I've had this app/program for nearing three years now. As I run on a boring Windows interface, it does wholly replace one's need to have the taskbar, desktop icons, and allows one to display rich, full wallpaper images the way they were meant to be shown: uninhibited.

I recommend it.
