BrowserGap vs Keeper Remote Browser Isolation

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.

Keeper Remote Browser Isolation runs web browsing in a controlled remote environment rather than on an end-user device. It provides access to cloud-based and internal web applications without a VPN. Administrators can allow sites by domain, subdomain, path or wildcard, restrict uploads, downloads and clipboard use, and record website interactions for auditing and compliance without granting full operating-system access. The isolation protocol can inject credentials into a session without sending them to the user's device.

The service projects a virtualized Chromium browser running in a Keeper Connection Manager container. Connection Manager can run on-premises or in the cloud, and Keeper says there are no concurrency limits. It also supports RDP, SSH, Kubernetes and VNC, plus connections to MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server. Listed identity integrations include SSO, Active Directory, LDAP and PIV/CAC. Remote Browser Isolation is offered with custom pricing; no price is listed, and the page invites prospective customers to request a quote.
