## What it is
BrowserBox is a commercial Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) platform that streams a full modern browser to any client at 60 FPS, keeping web threats off the endpoint. It is clientless, embeddable via webview, and deployable on servers, Docker, or LXC, with optional Tor and SSH tunnel support.

## Use cases
- isolate risky web browsing away from endpoints
- embed a remote browser inside my app
- run a secure cloud browser session via API
- co-browse websites with teammates remotely
- browse the web anonymously through Tor
- stream a browser to thin clients at 60 FPS
- sanitize and inspect web content before it reaches users

## When to choose
- you need clientless remote browser isolation without plugins
- you want an embeddable remote browser component in your own product
- you need zero-trust web isolation aligned with NIST 800-53 or HIPAA
- you want multiplayer co-browsing or Tor/onion-service browsing

## When to avoid
- you need fully open-source software - BrowserBox requires a paid license even for development
- you just need a headless automation browser like Puppeteer or Playwright
- you want a simple local proxy or VPN rather than full browser isolation
- you cannot accept a proprietary, source-available license with activation keys
