Is SB required for apps with inbuilt sandbox protections?

For example the latest version of Acrobat Reader.

Please help

Required? No, in the sense that it's not "required" for anything. :) Certainly recommended though, especially for Adobe Reader (Chrome's "sandbox" is better I guess, but I'd still use for that), as there have been exploits that bypass Reader's own sandbox!

(Or, for a PDF reader, you could just use another one like PDF X-Change Viewer like I did when I got tired of Adobe bloat and exploits. :lol:)

Yeah but once I have adobe reader sandboxed, it's own sandbox does not run. So it's either or.
