Browser Security Definition: Safeguards within web browsers, such as sandboxing, HTTPS enforcement, and same-origin policy, that protect users from online threats.
Browser security refers to the assortment of safeguards and design principles that protect users from digital risks when navigating the internet. This includes features like sandboxing, content filtering, and phishing detection. It also involves enforcing secure connections (HTTPS), adhering to the same-origin policy, and restricting how browser extensions behave. Since cybercriminals frequently exploit browser vulnerabilities to perform cross-site scripting, deliver drive-by downloads, or run malicious code, it is crucial to keep browsers updated, apply sound security settings, and encourage user awareness.
