Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for an internet isolation system implemented using a browser application. The host computer system may be configured to receive a request to communicate with a first network destination. The host computer system may determine whether the first network destination is trusted or untrusted. The host computer system may instantiate a browser application. The browser application may be configured to, on a condition that the first network destination is determined to be trusted, enable communication with the first network destination via a first browser process executed in a workspace of the host computer system. The browser application may be configured to, on a condition that the first network destination is determined to be untrusted, implement an isolated computing environment using an internal isolation firewall and enable communication with the first destination via a second browser process executed in the isolated computing environment.
