Hello!I was trying to use Dolphin{Anty} on my PC but a strange notification caught my eye.
It was trying to access my sensitive file with emails and passwords inside it. Thank god I was using an antivirus and protected my sensitive documents, otherwise, I am not sure what details might have been shared with this app.
As they have a marketplace thread on BHW, I believe mods need to look at it closely and let us know if it's safe for use.
P.S- I never gave the app permission to use the file, it tried to access the file randomly.
@Dolphin Team Clarify?
Here's the screenshot -
Dear users, we sincerely thank you for waiting for an answer to this question. So let's talk about this incident.
If the browser installer is downloaded from the official site https://anty.dolphin.ru.com, then you have 1000% nothing to worry about. We officially declare that no third party data can be viewed by our browser in any way, especially not send it somewhere. You can easily verify this by looking at the source traffic on your PC.
As for the screenshot of the author's PC, this is a misunderstanding on the part of the antivirus. Everyone knows that antiviruses live on their own and often swear even on the site
Google. If the browser was a spy, then your antivirus reported it and removed the installer immediately after downloading. You can see for yourself by downloading the installer on the official website of any OS and scanning it with any antivirus for malicious code. You can't find anything wrong.

I've never had an antivirus program tell me that one of my programs is trying to access my Excel files.Hello!

Thank you for the kind words.
But you will not do it here as this is not your support channel and that would be advertising or selling outside of the marketplace.Hello!

In fact, we also do not believe that this could happen in principle. After all, if the browser could access some personal files, then someone would have already discovered it 1 year and 2 months after the release of the browser.
You can easily verify this by looking at the outgoing traffic on your PC, this is 100% proof that everything is in order.
To be honest, we think that this topic is somehow created by competitors to damage our reputation.

Not much as just because someone is online does not mean they see everything.
