The Productive Browser Project is a continuation of the previously completed Virtual Browser Project. The primary goal of the Productive Browser Project is to determine whether a virtual browser can provide sufficient security with minimal impact on the productivity of a typical enterprise end user. This project focuses on validating the security properties hypothesized as a result of isolating the web browser through virtualization technology. The security tests feature many of the typical attacks encountered by enterprise users and compare the security of a Virtual Browser to Google Chrome.
