It seems to me that you don't think Sandboxie does what it claims to do, not to any degree.

And I'm not even a hacker.
Any web browser's built-in sandboxing architecture is far better than this already. Snake oil IMO.

Me? I'm just an end user who reads a lot and weighs up what people and articles say. That's what most of us end users do before installing and using security software I think. I'm possibly not going to understand explanations of how you put Sandboxie to the test.
That's where other forums come in. Since your own strongly felt opinions seem to go against popular opinion, it would be good to read a debate between
many people regarding why you think Sandboxie is a poor security program. It could draw some flak but you seem up to the job. Also, I'm sure the Sandboxie developers would like to know about the vulnerabilities found and the way you found them. They could then say if they thought the test was valid or not and work on improvements if warranted.
Incidentally, I'm running Sandboxie on a fully patched Windows 8.1 system. Since this is the case, might you have the opinion the program is not needed because patches negate the necessity for it? Sandboxie forms part of a layered security approach on my system but with the tirade I might get in saying what the other layers are, it's probably best to remain silent.
Sorry to learn of your autism. If that's what has made your approach to the topic abrasive, I'll try to understand. However, I have seen rudeness in a number of forums over the years, which is why I choose to read more than partake. It just seems to be the way people are anyway on forums sometimes.
