VirtualBrowser

VirtualBrowser moves web browsing into a remote server or virtual container and streams the rendered pages to users. The product says web code does not run on the user's computer, and the remote container and its data are removed when a session ends. Administrators can set rules for individual sites, including controls for keyboard input, copying and pasting, uploads, downloads, printing, read-only access, and camera or microphone use. The console supports remote document previews and watermarks for sensitive information. VirtualBrowser says it blocks tracking cookies and includes an ad-blocking extension. It supports online meetings such as Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex, with controls for cameras, microphones, and screen sharing. Organizations can use SAML or LDAP authentication and connect isolation through a proxy. Deployment is offered as Europe-hosted SaaS or on the customer's servers; the on-premise option lists ICAP integration with content analysis systems. The product is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge across operating systems. Pricing is by quote request.

VirtualBrowser offers remote isolation with controls for site access, files, and sensitive documents, alongside SaaS and on-premise deployment. Organizations should request a quote and assess which deployment option fits their needs.

VirtualBrowser suits organizations seeking remote browser isolation for risky sites, sensitive web applications, unmanaged devices, investigations, or browsing in mobile and sensitive locations. It offers SaaS and on-premise deployment options.

VirtualBrowser is remote browser isolation software for organizations that need to control web access from employee devices. It suits security teams managing risky sites, sensitive applications, or unmanaged devices. Its remote sessions and detailed access controls make it a focused security option, though buyers must request a quote and choose between European SaaS hosting and on-premise deployment.

Overview

Web pages run in a remote server or virtual container, and users see a pixel stream of the rendered page. The product says web code does not run on the user's computer; when a session ends, the container is destroyed and its data removed. That setup is useful for reducing exposure to hostile web content and leftover session data, particularly on unmanaged devices.

Administrators can set site-specific rules for keyboard input, copying and pasting, uploads, downloads, printing, read-only access, and camera or microphone use. The administration console adds remote document previews and watermarks for sensitive material. These controls let organizations permit access while limiting what users can do with a site or its content, but make VirtualBrowser a managed security tool rather than a personal browser.

Key features

VirtualBrowser blocks tracking cookies and includes an ad-blocking extension to limit trackers and browser fingerprinting. It supports online video meetings, with controls for cameras, microphones, and screen sharing; the maker names Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex. This makes isolation more practical for staff who need meeting tools, though the product's meeting controls remain part of an administrator-managed environment.

SAML or LDAP authentication supports organizational sign-in. Browsing can be isolated explicitly or transparently through an organization's proxy server. File transfers can be controlled, and malware scanning is included: the SaaS option lists integrated antivirus analysis, while the on-premise option supports ICAP integration with content analysis systems.

The maker says its web browsing security solution received CSPN certification from France's ANSSI after evaluation by an independent laboratory. That certification is a relevant credential for buyers assessing security products, alongside their own requirements.

Pricing

VirtualBrowser uses custom pricing; buyers must request a quote. The VirtualBrowser plan offers SaaS or on-premise deployment, shared or dedicated server options, remote isolation, malware scanning, and file transfer controls. There is no published numeric price, so organizations should compare a quote against their expected deployment and server needs.

SaaS is hosted in Europe, while on-premise deployment runs on the customer's servers and lists ICAP integration with content analysis systems. Choosing between them affects where the service runs and which scanning integration is available. The product is paid, and no free plan or trial is stated.

Platforms

VirtualBrowser supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, and is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge across operating systems. Its platform range can suit organizations with mixed endpoints, while the actual isolation runs remotely rather than executing web code on each device.

Who it's for

VirtualBrowser is aimed at organizations securing access to risky or uncategorized websites, sensitive web applications, and unmanaged devices. The maker also identifies SOC and OSINT investigations, plus browsing while mobile or in sensitive locations. It is a strong fit when administrators need to grant web access with site-level restrictions and session cleanup. Buyers seeking an unmanaged browser for individual use should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Remote execution and session cleanup: Web code runs in an isolated container, which is destroyed with its data when the session ends.
• Fine-grained controls: Site policies can govern input, file transfers, printing, read-only access, and device permissions; document previews and watermarks add controls for sensitive material.
• Multiple deployment choices: European SaaS hosting and customer-hosted on-premise deployment accommodate different operating preferences.
• Custom pricing: A quote is required, so buyers cannot compare a published price before contacting sales.
• Organizational focus: Authentication, proxy integration, and administrator policies make the product suited to managed environments, not casual personal browsing.

Verdict

Organizations that need controlled access to risky sites, sensitive applications, or unmanaged endpoints should consider VirtualBrowser for its remote session cleanup, detailed policies, and SaaS or on-premise deployment. Its main drawback is that pricing requires a sales quote, so buyers who need transparent costs or a self-service free tier should compare other options.
