👉 Browser missiles, also known as browser-based firewalls or inline security features, are security mechanisms built directly into web browsers to protect users from various online threats. Unlike traditional firewalls that operate at the network level, browser missiles analyze and filter web traffic as it flows from a user's device to a website or vice versa, providing real-time protection against malware, phishing attacks, and other web-based threats. These features can include content filtering, URL blocking, and protection against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. By integrating security directly into the browser, these tools offer a more seamless and immediate defense, enhancing user safety without requiring additional software installations.
