The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini.

What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. This transparency makes it easy to trust Sandboxie and its uncommon fixes.Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. The software is open-source, allowing anyone to look online for new additions and a brief overview of the code. Sandboxie is safe to use and doesn’t include any malicious code that could harm your computer. Through this option, you’ll prevent your computer from developing corrupted memory, lessening the effect on your Windows operating system. This feature allows you to prevent cache and other junk files by deleting the information. Sandboxie acts similarly to a virtual machine, loading files and programs without keeping a permanent record of their changes. However, as no data is stored, your browser won’t save or load your passwords while you’re using it within Sandboxie. As the application isolates your browser, any harmful content cannot leak into your home or WiFi network or interfere with your Windows computer. Using Sandboxie to log into your email account helps keep malware and other unwanted code away from your computer.

Any malicious content downloaded will be destroyed upon closing the software. The most prominent use is that you have nearly unlimited downloads. While running your web browser through Sandboxie, you’ll notice many benefits that enhance your computer’s security. As nothing is saved after use, you won’t have to worry about opening incognito mode on your browser.

Any cookies, cached files, and browsing history cannot leak into different sections of your computer. The Sandboxie provides better privacy for your computer, in a way that’s different to providers like Avast, as you browse the internet or connect to other online services.
