Chromodo Browser has serious security issues

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Comodo's "secure" browser (installed by default when you install their AV suite, and it makes itself your PC's default browser), built on a Chromium browser build, has major security features (used by all modern browsers) disabled, like the Same Origin policy.

When Google's security department called them out for it, they essentially blew them off.

A lot of AV companies are starting to bundle supposedly "secure" browsers (usually built on old Chromium builds). Another reason why I despise AV suites. All you want or need is a basic AV that does real-time file scanning. All the rest is fluff.. or even makes you more insecure. You want a secure browser, then just use Chrome.

FYI, I still haven't got a response. The same origin policy is basically disabled for all of your customers, which means there is no security on the web....this is about as bad as it gets. If the impact isn't clear to you, please let me know.
