For example, the Chromium browser called Comodo Dragon, which was upgraded by the antivirus specialist Comodo. From the outside, it is similar to Google Chrome, but Dragon is supposed to be more stable and, thanks to privacy mode, stop stubborn cookies. In addition, Comodo promises, Dragon checks SSL certificates more closely. Those who prefer to isolate their browser from the rest of the PC are more likely to use BitBox – a browser-in-the-box. The developers (behind BitBox is the Federal Office for Information Security BSI) packed their browser into a specially adapted Linux environment in a virtual environment. Linux has some advantages over Windows – among other things, there is hardly any malware for the free operating system.
How to create strong passwords
For this reason, professionals like to fall back on Virtual Box and install a complete Linux – often Ubuntu – in this virtual machine. You then only use the virtual Ubuntu as a surfing system or, even more specifically, only for online banking. By the way, you don’t need virus protection for Ubuntu. Tip: The alternative way to install Ubuntu alongside Windows is Wubi.exe. The small file installs Ubuntu next to Windows on the disk. When the system starts, you then select which system you want to start. That way you don’t need a Virtual Box.
