Do you know that it steals all of your credentials and session cookies from other browsers? I did an install, realized that I already logged in facebook, gmail and some other websites. How come this is done so easily? So I immediately removed it from my pc. I don't suggest anyone to install it. I learnt from the hard way.

It would be a nice feature, if done with permission. (Which I wouldn't give it in a million years, but that's me.)

Other browsers do this by asking. But it's pointless anyway because most people will not know what a cookie is and they leave that check box checked.

  Are you sure that? Other browsers import bookmarks, history etc but not cookies, especially session cookies.

      So far, I thought cookies are stored encrypted. That's bad, very bad.

    what the hell is session cookies !?!?
    - cturhan 12y ago
      Session cookie is a cookie which is created when you enter a website so that website understand you are s unique user. It is also used to prove you are a logged in user ın facebook, twitter etc. If you hsve someone's session cookies, you can login his profile without pasword

If you install native software and it is malicious, you are already owned. This is uncorrelated to the visible use of other apps' data locally. This is your data and it is still on your PC, why bother?

Perhaps it also forwards them to the Russia security service?

hahaha nice one. It did, but fortunately it got hold on the chrome (default browser) install and not the chromium or the FF one.

Is this because it's really just a different skin on chromium? What is your other browser? If it's chromium, maybe it's just using all the same config and saved state.

  Accordıng to them, new yande browser is chromeless. Other browser is chrome. But also I remind you that, if you install chromium when chrome is already installed, it doesn't import cookies.
