Browsing the World Wide Web may expose a user's system to malicious attacks that can lead to data loss and/or system failure. Sometimes a user desires to access information on a web page that may contain malicious content. For example, a college student researching computer hacking may need information provided on a hacking website even though the site is potentially dangerous. Although techniques are employed to install potentially harmful executable files into a sandbox (e.g., virtual machine), these techniques do not address navigation of harmful sites. Functionality can be implemented to instantiate a web browser within a controlled virtual environment (“sandbox”) that simulates the host system while restricting the virtual environment to designated space(s) and/or resources of the host system to prevent harmful effects. Instantiating the web browser in the sandbox allows web navigation of risky web sites without deleterious effects on the host system.
