 Sandboxie Plus and Classic share the same core components, the main difference is that the Classic UI is no longer under development. Hence, a UI for new core functionality is only available in the SandMan UI of the Sandboxie Plus. Likewise, various other new features are only implemented in the SandMan UI. Another difference is that Sandboxie Plus is provided under a [custom license](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/blob/master/Installer/license.txt), while Sandboxie Classic is provided under a [GPL-3.0+ license](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/blob/master/LICENSE).
 
 Some exclusive functionality is only available to project supporters with a valid [Supporter Certificate](https://sandboxie-plus.com/supporter-certificate/).

 ## Benefits of the Isolated Sandbox
 
 *   Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
-*   Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don\\'t leak into Windows.
-*   Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can\\'t break out of the sandbox and can\\'t infect your real system.
