Performance Settings
- Some apps continue to run after you have closed Comodo Dragon so they can continue to deliver their services to you.
- For example, an app that checks your mail might continue to run so that it can inform you of new messages.
- A
list of still-running apps will appear on your desktop system tray
if this is the case.
- Comodo Dragon also uses hardware acceleration to improve video playback on, for example, YouTube and 3D Earth view in Google maps.
