VirtualBrowser
VirtualBrowser moves browsing into a remote server or virtual container and streams the rendered pages to users. Web code does not run on the user’s computer, and the container and its data are removed when a session ends. Administrators can set site-specific rules for keyboard use, copying and pasting, uploads, downloads, printing, read-only access, and camera or microphone use. The administration console supports remote document previews and watermarks. The product blocks tracking cookies and includes an ad-blocking extension. It also supports online video meetings, including Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex, with controls for cameras, microphones, and screen sharing. Organizations can use SAML or LDAP authentication and route browsing through a proxy. Deployment is available as SaaS hosted in Europe or on customer servers; the on-premise option lists ICAP content-analysis integration. VirtualBrowser is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge across operating systems, and says its browsing security solution is CSPN-certified. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. Pricing is on request.
