Solve : Chromodo ... Installed Comodo AV to a system and noticed this

1.	Solve : Chromodo ... Installed Comodo AV to a system and noticed this alt browser?
Answer» So I installed Comodo AV to a system because AVG is only available through installing a cnet downloader service etc and I dont want to have to install a downloader to download what should be a direct download. Noticed that Comodo has a Chromodo browser. Also it rounded up Firefox and IE and placed them as sandbox browsers in the interface on the top right of the desktop. Is this Chromodo any good or is it just Google Chrome with heightened security settings? To me it looks like Comodo slapped their name on Chrome.
