Sandboxie and Fall Creators Update

Tonyb said:

is sandboxie free or is it a charge for it ??

Hi Tony, same installer. There is a free version, and a paid version that has features that becomes unlocked when you register your version of Sandboxie.

I recommend to test SBIE free, after a few months, you ll know if you want more out of Sandboxie. If you do, you get the license. Nine years ago because there was a free version available, I tested Sandboxie. After 6 months, I knew Sandboxie was for real and had found what I needed to maintain my computer intact and went for the license.

Yes, Sandboxie doesnt work well along Norton. Historically, this two programs have always had trouble working without conflict. There is always something in Norton that messes up Sandboxie. You can get both programs working together with workarounds but what works today, wont work tomorrow as something new usually breaks every so often.

Sandboxie gets along 100% with Windows defender. No issue whatsoever. You could uninstall Norton for now and give Sandboxie a try. WD and SBIE work perfectly together. No need for workarounds or anything.

Hey bo elam just wanted to tell you thanks again for your thread about SBIE late last year because after trying it again I have kept up with the beta versions and can say I really love using SBIE for my browsers again.

You are welcome, munk. In my opinion, its always better to use the latest beta. Specially when you run Chromium type browsers (like you) as it includes updates developed to keep up with Chromes updates.

And speaking of browsers I found a little browser that I myself have never heard of before and I absolutely love it and it works fantastic with SBIE and is taking over my top browser spot from Firefox which for me is saying a lot because I really like Firefox.

It is "EPIC PRIVACY BROWSER" this is a lite on resources,good looking interface with a built in Ad blocker browser that works really well.......Check it out and tell me what you think if you haven't already!

I dont use Chromium browsers but I read good things about Epic. I ll install it it in a sandbox and check it out .:)

@munk1955, I just noticed there is no template in Sandbox settings for saving bookmarks out of the sandbox for Epic. Personally, I set all my sandboxes as restricted as possible but without losing usability or convenience. I try to achieve a balance between usability and security. So, for browsers, I allow bookmarks to be saved.

If you want to save bookmarks for Epic out of a sandboxed session, follow this instructions:

In Windows 10, Epic saves bookmarks in:
%LocalAppdata%\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default\Bookmarks

Open Sandbox settings for your Epic sandbox, go to Resource access>File access>Direct access, Click Edit/Add, and copy/paste the path written above.

An interview of Ronen Tzur (Tzuk), the original developer of Sandboxie done in 2008 by the guys from GRC. To us who discovered and adoptef SBIE in the early days, Tzuk is our hero. This is good stuff, anyone who uses SBIE should listen to it. And if you are not using SBIE or know anything about SBIE, Sandboxie might click on you after listening to Tzuk. In the interview he talks about his motivation for developing Sandboxie. The interview starts at 33:50.
