With javascript being able to run linux in a web browser, crypto miners, untested and unscanned browser extensions, zero day attacks, web browsers themselves spying on you (
https://www.npr.org/...ement-search-history ) , scam websites... and the complete lack of the web browsers caring about security at all...
the only solution i can think of to stay safe online, is to keep my web browsers separate from my computer. with the virtual machine ability to stop them from using cpu when i dont want them ker-chunking in the background.
i see there is a virtual browser service - browserling.com/virtual-browser - but thats using a vm on someone elses computer! i doubt i would trust that very much!
there is even 'run a vm in your browser'
https://github.com/l...m?tab=readme-ov-file but that vm is 600mb debian image.
theres kasm, but thats more for server/workstation vm streaming. howto video here
https://www.youtube..../watch?v=TbtGd3lWc4M . it looks really neat but i dont have a home lab server running at the moment.
there is windows sandbox! wow microsoft realizes how bad windows security really is! oh wait its not available for windows home versions
https://learn.micros...ion/windows-sandbox/ . but just like windows i wouldnt trust microsoft sandbox to properly and securely sandbox.
i know there are smaller vm that come with latest firefox or other web browsers ?
i guess the best search will be "tiny debian vm with browser" not "sandboxed browser vm"
