   "Want to protect your device against browsing threats? With browser   
   isolation, you can sandbox your web activities to protect your device   
   against cyberattacks.   
      
   What is browser isolation? Browser isolation (also called web   
   isolation) is an online security tool that keeps your web browsing   
   activity segregated from your device and local network. Instead of   
   loading webpages (and any malicious code they might try to execute,   
   such as JavaScript) directly on your computer, browser isolation loads   
   them in a protected environment: either a sandbox (such as a virtual   
   machine) or a remote browsing session hosted online and accessed via   
   an interactive video feed.   
      
   Browser isolation prevents malicious programs from accessing your   
   system. It also gives you the freedom to browse the web without   
   exposing your IP address or device fingerprint data, which can be used   
   to identify you, track, and engage in profiling."

   =====   
   I have used an "out of date" program for years by the name of Time   
   Freeze* which is a freebie and the simplest Sandbox type program I   
   ever came across. Nothing in my browsing sticks to my C: upon reboot,   
   unless I deliberately loaded a program from the Web to a drive other   
   than my protected C drive.  Those downloads, few and far in between,   
   are immediately checked with online AV sites like -

   or

   site.)
