Have you heard of virtual browsers?
If you have then it is good for you.
If you have not then it is something you should know.
A normal browser is there on your laptop or computer and when you put in a website address you are taken to that particular website.
If the link that you are trying to access is corrupt then it is possible to infect your computer or laptop with viruses.
In order to keep yourself safe from such a thing you can use a virtual browser.
A virtual browser is installed on a machine somewhere else and you are given access to that through your own browser.
If you try to access a link that is malicious it will not affect your system directly.
Since the virtual browser is running on a virtual machine on some server somewhere else, you are completely safe.
