Ghostbox Browser : Contained browser sessions for sketchy websites

Ghostbox isolates risky browsing from your main profile. Launch Edge, Chrome, or Brave in a sandboxed session, burn it when you're done, and keep your passwords where they belong—separate from the sketchy link you just clicked. Trackers blocked. Downloads quarantined. Tor optional.

I built Ghostbox after one too many "oops I clicked that in my main browser" moments. The idea was stupidly simple: one click to launch a sandboxed browser, do your risky business, burn the session when done. No complex VM setup. No installing a whole separate browser. Just isolation when you need it. The sandboxing uses Windows container APIs (with plans for macOS/Linux). Downloads get quarantined, trackers get blocked, and you can route through Tor if you're feeling extra paranoid. My honest question for you: How do you currently handle sketchy links? Separate user account? VM? Qubes? Always curious how other people solve this—especially if you've found something that actually sticks in your workflow. Happy to answer technical questions or argue about threat models. Fire away.

the disposable session idea is genuinely useful, especially keeping bookmarks and logins out of the sketchy link rabbit holes i end up clicking. the tor toggle is a nice touch for the occasional paranoid deep dive.

Love how easy it is to spin up a clean Chrome session and just torch it after. Finally a browser sandbox that doesn't make me fiddle with configs.

Love that you can route any of the main browsers through the sandbox instead of locking people into some custom one. That kind of flexibility shows the team actually thought about real workflows.
