I am in no way endorsing this product (or the category of products), but it is incorrect to say that it doesn't protect you from exploits. It protects against your machine being compromised, and while the browser VM can be compromised, it can theoretically be ephemeral, possibly even only having the lifetime of a single tab (some products in the space does this IIRC). It's all just a matter of what your threat model is. > If this is something you really want for some reason, why not just RDP/VNC/Chrome Remote Desktop back to your office/home network. You could make a minimal linux VM with only a web browser, keep good discipline and never do anything else on it, and RDP into it. However, these products commonly provide much smaller attack surface than such a setup, and combined with something like VM-based tab isolation, you wouldn't be anywhere near the security features of such a product.
