What BrowserBox is
BrowserBox streams a modern browser to clients for remote browser isolation, browsing, automation, and embedding. It supports access from modern browsers without plugins, and its site describes streaming at 60 FPS. Sessions run in controlled, disposable environments. Policy can restrict copying, pasting, uploads, downloads, printing, and developer tools; secure defaults include navigation allowlisting, blocked private-network access, and profile encryption at rest. Policy decisions are logged with sensitive fields redacted. Developers can embed a live session with the hyper-frame element and use JavaScript to control tabs, navigation, capture, and selection. BrowserBox also integrates with Puppeteer and Playwright, while its Cloud API creates temporary sessions over REST without customer hosting. It can run headless on servers with or without a GPU and can be paired with Tor, SSH tunnels, or HTTPS. The product is commercial, not open source, and requires a valid license even for development and evaluation. Paid options include a $119 a year commercial license billed per user annually; no free plan or trial is listed.
