Hexnode Kiosk Browser vs SURF Zero Trust Enterprise Browser

Hexnode Kiosk Browser lets organizations limit browsing to approved websites and web apps on devices locked in kiosk mode. Administrators can allowlist or blacklist URLs, and sites outside a configured allowlist are blocked. Web apps and URL rules can be configured remotely through Hexnode UEM. On Android, the browser offers single-tab and multi-tab modes; single-tab mode hides the address bar and prevents switching between tabs. Administrators can configure full-screen display, toolbar and appearance, scheduled web app refresh, JavaScript, media, browsing history, location services, and forms, or disable hardware and software keys. Hexnode also provides a native kiosk browser for supervised iPhones and iPads, plus website kiosk support for specified Windows editions. Android Kiosk Browser APKs support Android 8 and above, while the documented tab features support Android 5.0 and above; Android TV OS is unsupported. Plans start at $2.20 a month, billed starting with 15 devices, and a 14-day trial is available.

SURF Zero Trust Enterprise Browser is a browser and extension for organisations that enforce security controls on user devices. It can discover AI tools, mask sensitive prompts, and block risky uploads in real time. A sandboxed, human-verified runtime is described for autonomous browser agents, with an air gap between planning and live access. Scoped access to corporate applications is available for contractors, BYOD staff, and acquired teams without VPN or VDI. SURF says it logs AI interactions and policy decisions while keeping personal browsing private. Controls map to GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DORA, with SOC 2-ready evidence generation. Deployment can use existing MDM or self-installation, and enforcement runs on the device without proxy or cloud redirection. The full browser supports Windows, macOS, and Linux; mobile support includes iOS, iPadOS, and Android. The extension works with Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium browsers. Integrations include Okta, Microsoft, Splunk, Datadog, Kandji, HashiCorp, VirusTotal, and Elastic.
