In plain words

This is an open-source isolated browser designed to provide journalists and similar users with a secure browsing environment. Launched in 2020, the tool runs on GitHub and is available free of charge. It isolates browser activity to protect users working with sensitive information or potentially malicious content, making it particularly useful for professionals who need to verify sources or access risky websites safely without compromising their primary system.
