Hi

 

I am thinking about running browser in a VM, who do you do it?

I will like it do be in VMware, since I already use it.

 

Best Regards

Brian

If I have to browse to a site that can potentially own my computer. I use Virtual Box and have a copy of Ubuntu instance on it or you can put any OS that you want. I have a base version of the OS and make a copy of it. I use then that copied image to do whatever I need to do and when I'm done I just delete it.

I have done virtual chromium OS fast boot and small size easy to duplicate and delete when done

Peter Hanse Of course, why did not I think about it. I already use Chromium on old laptops.

Peter Hanse what about cut and paste and transfer of download from the VM to the host did it work fine?

[G+_Peter Hanse]

Not sure on VMware as I run parallels so choppy past worked did not do file transfer

I believe you don't run a browser in a VM, you run an Operating System in a VM, and then use whatever browser you want to. As example, I have VMware Player on this computer, and run Linux Mint in it, and run Firefox on that.

 

If you just want to run a browser in a protected area that can't affect your computer, run the free Sandboxie.

Correct it is still OS but only runs browser chromium.org - Chromium OS - The Chromium Projects
