Observations

Post by bs1 » Sun Feb 22, 2015 1:17 pm

I am a longtime and current user of Sandboxie and a fanboy of it. It's been a while since I've visited this forum; I was a frequent poster but problems that I experienced with versions 4.X and beyond have kept me at the 3.7X level. So there hasn't been much need for me to stay frequently tuned in to what's been going on here.

Out of curiosity I stopped by here this morning. Reading through a number of the posts, especially in the Problem Reports section, leaves me with the impression that Sandboxie has become more complicated to use. I know it had a learning curve, but the impression I get now in reading the posts is that the typical user must have at minimum at moderate level of computer know-how to be able to figure out how to properly use Sandboxie and to work though problems that they may experience. This isn't meant to be an unfair criticism of Invincea, but my impression was tzuk tried to keep things as simple as possible to attract a customer base consisting not only of power users, but novices as well. I'm curious to know if others here think that Sandboxie has become more difficult to use.

Hi bs1

I don't think so. Some chrome users have or have had issues, but it is much more secure. You might try it and see.

Also longtime Sandboxie user and haven't found it to be more difficult to use. Version 3.76 to version 4.x has been a
smooth transition and each new version release has worked well. Sandboxie seems very stable, secure and fairly easy
to use. Changing default settings will require more user knowledge, but help is available if needed.

Hi bs1 8), nice seeing you. In my opinion, usability is the same now as when Tzuk was here. Same UI, basically same settings, no change at all in how I use SBIE.

Problems. I see Problem reports being handled pretty much the same way now as when Tzuk was here. Invincea, just like Tzuk, have to prioritize the time they spend fixing problems. So, problems that affect many users (like Chrome), are the ones that are always on top of the list of issues to fix. It makes sense.

Good feedback.

I may give an updated version another try in the near future.
