Comodo IceDragon Internet Browser

Comodo IceDragon is a fast and versatile Internet browser based on Mozilla Firefox which features several security, performance and feature enhancements over the core build. Fully compatible with Firefox plug-ins and extensions, IceDragon combines the freedom and functionality of Firefox with the unparalleled security and privacy of Comodo.

IceDragon is made possible by the Firefox open source project based on Firefox 20.0.1.14

SiteInspector malware scanning technology

SiteInspector's link scanning feature allows you to check whether a web page is malicious before you actually visit that page. To scan a page that seems suspicious to you, simply right-click on the link to that page and click 'Scan Link'. Alternatively, the SiteInspector button at the top corner of IceDragon allows you to instantly scan the page you are looking at to find out if it contains viruses or other malware. When the scan is complete, you'll see a detailed breakdown of site safety, domain registration details, administrative contacts and a history of previous malware scans on that website.

Secure DNS service

IceDragon users are also given the option to use Comodo's Domain Name System (DNS) servers, free of charge. Doing so brings about several advantages, including:

• Web-pages load faster – Comodo operate a huge network of fully redundant DNS servers located at optimal locations around the world. This means your requests for web-pages are always resolved by the high performance DNS cluster closest to you. The result? Websites load faster than if you continue to use the DNS server provided by your ISP (which you share with all their other customers).
• A safer Internet experience - SecureDNS helps users keep safe online with its malware domain filtering feature. SecureDNS references a real-time block list (RBL) of harmful websites. These include phishing sites, malware sites, spyware sites, and parked domains that contain excessive advertising. You'll be warned whenever you attempt to access a site containing such potentially threatening content. Our highly secure infrastructure also reduces your exposure to DNS poisoning attacks.

Social media integration

Found an interesting page or video? IceDragon's dedicated social media button makes it easy to instantly share your web-finds with your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn friends.

Privacy and performance enhancements

IceDragon features several tweaks to the core Firefox build to improve both security and performance. These include the removal of crash report and performance data submissions, the removal of the snippets service, an all new update module and many other under-the-hood enhancements. We think this make IceDragon the fastest and most secure version of Firefox around.

What's the difference between Mozilla Firefox and Comodo IceDragon?

IceDragon features privacy and performance enhancements over the Firefox core browser as well as additional features such as SiteInspector malware scanning, Comodo Secure DNS and improved social media functionality.

Is there a 64 bit version of Comodo IceDragon?

Not currently. However, we hope to add one in the near future. The 32 bit application will still work perfectly on 64 bit operating systems.

What's the difference between Comodo IceDragon and Comodo Dragon

Comodo Dragon is based on the Chromium engine used by Google Chrome. IceDragon is based on Firefox.

Which should I choose: Comodo Dragon or Comodo IceDragon?

The choice is yours! Both versions of Dragon feature security and privacy improvements over the originals and both feature additional Comodo tools and services. Our goal is to offer a secure, feature-enhanced alternative to both Chromium and Firefox user-bases while retaining the benefits and user experience of the original browsers. If you prefer Firefox, try IceDragon. If Chrome is the browser for you, then why not give Dragon a whirl?

Why is a Browser that provides greater security and privacy necessary?

Because malware plagues the Internet. In 2009 alone, more than 25 million new strains of malware were created, causing a 400% jump in compromised Web sites worldwide. Venturing onto the Web today (in an age in which one continually reveals social security, bank account and credit card numbers as well as a plethora of other sensitive data) can be like walking down a hallway with portraits on the walls. Portraits with eyes that watch everything you do and people hidden behind them ready to take advantage, based on what you let them see! Never have you needed to protect your privacy more on the Web!

Will Comodo IceDragon run on my computer?

Comodo IceDragon will run on 32/64 bit Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
