BrowserGap
BrowserGap is an open-source remote browser isolation solution for automation, security, privacy, and CBII. It runs a browser remotely and streams the page as pixels to a browser interface on the user's device, so the page's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript do not execute there. Users can work with tabs, forms, file transfers, modal dialogs, incognito tabs, and session-data clearing. Developers can embed a BrowserView in another web app, connect Puppeteer, or use the VF.openSecurely(url) API method. BrowserGap can also expose automation activity so a person can intervene when a job needs input. It adjusts image resampling to available bandwidth. The project can be self-hosted from source or run in Docker; binary instructions require Google Chrome on Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. Secure document viewing with content disarm and reconstruction is supported, but the source-available edition requires users to set up the viewer. The community edition is free under stated in-house deployment conditions. A managed session is listed at $3.81, paid once.
