|    Browser isolation: What is it and why do    |
|    07 Feb 26 22:17:33    |
      XPost: alt.comp.software.firefox, alt.comp.freeware              Partial part of article:              "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."              https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/what-is-browser-isolation/       =====       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 -              https://www.virustotal.com/old-browsers/       or       https://virusscan.jotti.org/              *Toolwiz Time Freeze can be found here:       https://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/toolwiz_time_freeze,1.html              (The Author's site no longer has it. You download from the Majorgeeks       site.)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
