Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for launching a web browser in a safe mode. An example method includes intercepting a request from the web browser to access data from a server; determining whether the browser is required to operate in a safe mode when displaying data from the server; when the browser is required to operate in the safe mode, analyzing the data received from the server; when the received data includes a webpage, generating a temporary webpage containing a script for evaluating at least one criterion for determining whether to display the webpage received from the server by the browser; executing the script contained in the temporary webpage by the browser; and based on an evaluation result of the at least one criterion by the script, launching the browser in the safe mode to display the webpage received from the server.
