  It’s also faster than chrome now I think.

  Resource management is much better. Chrome will max out the RAM, which slows down the browser. Firefox handles that 100x better.

  It doesn’t work in China, if that’s any indication.

  You might want to sign up with astrill. Greetings from China, we’ve been dealing with this shit for decades.

  Comes with a built in translator and spell checker, and since access to Google translate is blocked, that’s often the only alternative.

  Sure. Foreigners aren’t really sanctioned though, that’s more of a risk for the locals. But even then usually only if they want to get someone disappeared and don’t have anything substantial against them.

  Worse. They think it’s useful.

  Then they’ll install the Linux version. People here are so indoctrinated, they like it.

  That looks nice. I’ll check it out if I have some time later; though my written Chinese is fairly limited. So far the Windows keyboard layout did just fine.

  I live in China and this software is cancerous not just in the encryption failure, it also nestles into a computer like a trojan. Creates 2 fallback installations and will reinstall itself after removal if you reboot in between, unless you get rid of all 3 installations at once, where they are deliberately trying to obfuscate the uninstall button (triple confirmation, swapping the confirm/cancel buttons and button background colors, etc.).

  It’s a nasty piece of crap that come preloaded on any phone (android, at least) and Windows-PC here.

  Neither of which supports Chinese, so that’s useless for any actual users of Sogou.
