Sandboxie Support

I spent countless hours researching and testing the best security setup and approach for the (above average) home user from around 2007 to 2010, and came up with what I thought (and still think) to be an essentially bullet proof method. I've personally never had an unintentional "infection" even pri...

It sounds like you would be more comfortable running those programs in a full blown Virtual Machine (I use VirtualBox myself, and it's great). Sandboxie is what we would call "application virtualisation" - it's not meant to be used with the expectation of having a full blown Virtual Machine, and it ...

Hi, it's been nearly 5 months since this Chrome issue was reported. Any progress on an internal fix? I'm fine using the workaround, but just curious as to if any of the devs have discovered something.

Yes, probably should be stickied somewhere, as your question comes up once a week haha.

Updating to the latest Beta version should fix the issue.

Is there any progress/update on whether this will/can be fixed?

Nice spotting. Hopefully that is corrected soon. Not the first time this sort of thing has happened too.

Thank you for your feedback.
I have added an extra step to make the process more clear.

Thanks. That extra step makes it work well. And it makes good sense too.

Will this be looked into before the next Sandboxie final release?
