Do you use Chromodo Browser - if so you need to read this

I don't use it but I am still shocked



From the article:

“Chromodo is described as ‘highest levels of speed, security and privacy,’ but actually disables all web security. Let me repeat that, they ***disable the same origin policy***…. ?!?..” Ormandy wrote in an advisory published Tuesday by Google’s Project Zero research team.

“They also hijack DNS settings, among other shady practices,” Ormandy wrote.

Chromodo browser installed with Comodo Internet Security disables the same-origin policy by default.

The same-origin policy is a fundamental tenet of web security, ensuring that scripts access data from a second webpage only if the two pages have the same origin.
