"WhiteHat Aviator is built on Chromium, the same open-source foundation used by Google Chrome. Chromium has several unique, powerful security features. One is a "sandbox" that prevents websites from stealing files off your computer or infecting it with viruses...

WhiteHat Aviator comes ready-to-go with hardened security and privacy settings, giving hackers less to work with. And our browser downloads to you – without any hidden user-tracking functionality. Our default search engine is DuckDuckGo – not Google, which logs your activity. For good measure, Aviator integrates Disconnect – a crucial extension that blocks advertisements and much of the privacy-destroying tracking used across the Internet."

I use Chrome, have my default search engine set to DuckDuckGo, and use the AdBlock and NotScripts extensions. I don't really see what additional advantage I could get by switching to this browser.


I would appreciate a browser that crowdsources script blocking data. I use SafeScript, but I hate having to spend time to check if a domain or particular script is going to be used for a feature I want in a site or if it's just a script from a well known ad-ware or metrics company.


Does anyone know anything about whitehatsec?
