I was an earlier user of the 360 Extreme Explorer, v11 through v13.
I also had the DC browser recently installed, and seems to like it a bit better than the 360, due to the theme/skin customization and in my opinion a slightly less cluttered Settings page.
What I'd like to know is are all the modified versions of DC and 360 browsers shared here considerably safe for secure pages (online banking, checking emails, to name a few). With the SSL/HTTPS encryption I would be right to assume it should be? (regardless of the telemetry which probably if it isn't stripped off completely, are sending at worst location data, IP addresses, and the likes but not the actual parameters or secure details of the SSL-secured pages we are accessing).
As for the telemetry to China aspects, both modified versions of 360 and DC shared here were already stripped off it to a large extent is that correct?
I do noticed on the 360EE, in terms of performance, there's always a sort of latency that requires a being-accessed URL to be repeatedly refreshed, especially for websites that are later found to have HTTPS errors and needing a Proceed At Own Risk from us. Upon typing the URL and clicking Enter, it just does't seem to fetch anything and a f5 refresh is needed a few times before it suddenly loads and it just come pouring in or the Proceed page comes. 360 has this latency and it is quite a bit frustrating however for DC i find it slightly better. Is there no way to somehow circumvent this lag?
