ajour VS Sandboxie

I miss the ajour client...

However if privacy is a concern there are some open source alternatives you can find like Ajour (https://github.com/ajour/ajour).

Project I am talking about: https://github.com/ajour/ajour

The best desktop app in Rust that I used was ajour (polished, self-contained portable exec., auto-update, ...)

Bad news tho...

At the time of this sale, a lot of apps (Cursebreaker, Ajour) started popping up, which utilized the Curseforge api to pull addon packages down, thus skirting around Overwolf's application. Fast-forward to a few months ago, Overwolf announced they were reworking the API. This required developers to apply for access, and even if approved, addon devs controlled whether the packages were accessible via the API. Curseforge uses ads to payout developers who host there, so rightfully so, skirting around the Overwolf app wasn't acceptable to them anymore. With these changes, developers of these apps ceased worked on them.

unfortunately Ajour no longer has support.

Well. For now, I would just recommend Ajour, which is probably the best addon manager out there. It's really simple, lightweight, has no ads, updates all of your addons in mere seconds, and it can even update weakauras from wago.io. It can download from Wowinterface and the Tukui website too, so you can use it to update ElvUI.

These issues are the main reasons why Ajour's developer decided to quit.

I used to use sandboxie so I could emulate multiple browser sessions without worrying about cached creds or the different portals screwing up my context. It works decently.

Use Sandboxie on Windows. It's open source these days, and isolates processes from making changes on your system. It's perfect to install and run potentially unsafe programs. Sandboxie exists since 2003, and yet we still have people in business worlds running viruses from mail attachments.

Sandboxie

You can allow applications inside a Sandboxie to communicate with each other through sockets even when network access by Sandboxie is blocked1. You can enable Sandboxie network access and use Windows firewall outside Sandboxie to block all applications inside the Sandboxie from accessing the network1. It is also possible to specify ports that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2. However, it is not possible to specify IP’s or IP ranges that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2.

In addition to just taking all privileges way from the process, like Chrome does, there's also Sandboxie [1] and the official Windows Sandbox [2]

VirtualBox dropped 3D acceleration for old OS like XP a while back, you can see it it running "dxdiag" on your windows XP and running the tests, it will do DirectDraw only since the game is a 32 bit windows game it should run on modern windows like 10 and 11, I saw that the main problem is the DRM, so you will need a "cracked/pached" exe, I can't help with that, but do your own search, if you want to be "safe" you can try running it using something like SandBoxie-plus https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases

With those pre-reqs, is there anything Windows Sandbox can do that Sandboxie can't?

Could you pls. test if the vulnerability can be mitigated by using Sandboxie-Classic (that is the free version)?

I also want to recommand this piece of small software but it's very neat, Sandboxie: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie
