Sandboxie is based on the concept of sandboxing, in which programs can be run on a system but in an isolated environment. So, a sandbox is an isolated environment where you can run programs but as it is isolated from the real system, any changes brought by this program won’t affect the real system. With Sandboxie, you can run browsers and surf as many websites and URLs as you want. It will be nothing different than browsing on the real system. The only difference is that if you go on a malicious website, Sandboxie will help you prevent it from attacking your real system.
So, Sandboxie will help you stay safe while browsing the web!
