TLDR: You can browse the Internet safely and anonymously using a virtual browser at browserling.com/browse. It runs in your browser, so there’s nothing to download or install.
What Is a Virtual Browser?
It’s a real browser running on a remote machine that you control through your browser. Everything you do happens on a secure server, so your device never touches the website directly.
Is It Safe to Visit Weird Websites With It?
Yes, because the risky stuff stays on the remote machine, not your own. Malware, pop-ups, viruses, and trackers never get near your real computer.
Can I Test Suspicious Links With It?
Yes, it’s made for testing suspicious URLs without risking your system. Just paste the link into the virtual browser and see what it does.
Can I Open Dangerous Email Attachments?
Yes, you can upload attachments to the virtual browser and open them there. This helps protect your actual files and avoids infecting your computer with malware hidden in shady attachments.
Is It Good for Cybersecurity Testing?
Totally. Virtual browsers are often used in security testing, link analysis, sandboxing, and checking how websites behave under different conditions without exposing a real system.
How Is This Different From Incognito Mode?
Incognito just hides your history. It doesn’t protect you from viruses or sketchy websites. A virtual browser, on the other hand, acts like a shield, running everything remotely and keeping your device safe.
Do I Need to Install Anything?
Nope, it works straight from your browser. Just open a virtual browser in your browser and start browsing!
Can It Help With Online Privacy?
Absolutely. Since all browsing happens on a remote server, your IP address, cookies, and local data are never exposed to the sites you visit.
Can I Use It to Test Different Browsers?
Yeah, you can pick Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and others. It’s super helpful for developers, QA testers, or curious users who want to see how sites look in different browsers.
Is It Free?
There’s a free version with limited time, and paid plans for more features. If you just need quick tests or occasional safe browsing, the free plan is usually enough.
Is It On GitHub?
Absolutely. You can contribute to virtual browser repository on GitHub.
What Is Browserling?
Browserling is a virtual browser service that lets you use real web browsers on other computers, right from your own browser. It’s great for testing websites or visiting stuff safely without messing up your device.
Who Uses Browserling?
Browserling is a popular virtual browser tool used by people in tech, like cybersecurity pros, IT teams, and even researchers who check out the dark web. It’s trusted by millions of users every month, including big names like banks, governments, schools, news sites, and huge companies around the world.
For the past few months, I’ve been exploring different kinetic motion designs with text and images. The style looks very intriguing, so I decided to create some really cool organic animations using images and React Three Fiber.
In this article, we’ll learn how to create the following animation using Canvas2D and React Three Fiber.
Setting Up the View & Camera
The camera’s field of view (FOV) plays a huge role in this project. Let’s keep it very low so it looks like an orthographic camera. You can experiment with different perspectives later. I prefer using a perspective camera over an orthographic one because we can always try different FOVs. For more detailed implementation check source code.
4. Add some rotation – Let’s rotate things a bit! First, I’ll hard-code the rotation of our banners to make them more curved and fit nicely with the Billboard component. We’ll also make the radius a bit bigger.
page.jsx
'use client';
import styles from './page.module.scss';
import Billboard from '@/components/webgl/Billboard/Billboard';
import Banner from '@/components/webgl/Banner/Banner';
import { View } from '@/webgl/View';
import { PerspectiveCamera } from '@react-three/drei';
const COUNT = 10;
const GAP = 3.2;
export default function Home() {
return (
<div className={styles.page}>
<View className={styles.view} orbit={false}>
<PerspectiveCamera makeDefault fov={7} position={[0, 0, 70]} near={0.01} far={100000} />
<group>
{Array.from({ length: COUNT }).map((_, index) => [
<Billboard
key={`billboard-${index}`}
radius={5}
position={[0, (index - (Math.ceil(COUNT / 2) - 1)) * GAP, 0]}
rotation={[0, index * Math.PI * 0.5, 0]} // <-- rotation of the billboard
/>,
<Banner
key={`banner-${index}`}
radius={5}
rotation={[0, 0, 0.085]} // <-- rotation of the banner
position={[0, (index - (Math.ceil(COUNT / 2) - 1)) * GAP - GAP * 0.5, 0]}
/>,
])}
</group>
</View>
</div>
);
}
5. Tilt the whole thing – Now let’s rotate our entire group to make it look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
page.jsx
'use client';
import styles from './page.module.scss';
import Billboard from '@/components/webgl/Billboard/Billboard';
import Banner from '@/components/webgl/Banner/Banner';
import { View } from '@/webgl/View';
import { PerspectiveCamera } from '@react-three/drei';
const COUNT = 10;
const GAP = 3.2;
export default function Home() {
return (
<div className={styles.page}>
<View className={styles.view} orbit={false}>
<PerspectiveCamera makeDefault fov={7} position={[0, 0, 70]} near={0.01} far={100000} />
<group rotation={[-0.15, 0, -0.2]}> // <-- rotate the group
{Array.from({ length: COUNT }).map((_, index) => [
<Billboard
key={`billboard-${index}`}
radius={5}
position={[0, (index - (Math.ceil(COUNT / 2) - 1)) * GAP, 0]}
rotation={[0, index * Math.PI * 0.5, 0]}
/>,
<Banner
key={`banner-${index}`}
radius={5}
rotation={[0, 0, 0.085]}
position={[0, (index - (Math.ceil(COUNT / 2) - 1)) * GAP - GAP * 0.5, 0]}
/>,
])}
</group>
</View>
</div>
);
}
6. Perfect! – Our 3D shapes are all set up. Now we can add our images to them.
Creating a Texture from Our Images Using Canvas
Here’s the cool part: we’ll put all our images onto a canvas, then use that canvas as a texture on our Billboard shape.
To make this easier, I created some helper functions that simplify the whole process.
getCanvasTexture.js
import * as THREE from 'three';
/**
* Preloads an image and calculates its dimensions
*/
async function preloadImage(imageUrl, axis, canvasHeight, canvasWidth) {
const img = new Image();
img.crossOrigin = 'anonymous';
await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
img.onload = () => resolve();
img.onerror = () => reject(new Error(`Failed to load image: ${imageUrl}`));
img.src = imageUrl;
});
const aspectRatio = img.naturalWidth / img.naturalHeight;
let calculatedWidth;
let calculatedHeight;
if (axis === 'x') {
// Horizontal layout: scale to fit canvasHeight
calculatedHeight = canvasHeight;
calculatedWidth = canvasHeight * aspectRatio;
} else {
// Vertical layout: scale to fit canvasWidth
calculatedWidth = canvasWidth;
calculatedHeight = canvasWidth / aspectRatio;
}
return { img, width: calculatedWidth, height: calculatedHeight };
}
function calculateCanvasDimensions(imageData, axis, gap, canvasHeight, canvasWidth) {
if (axis === 'x') {
const totalWidth = imageData.reduce(
(sum, data, index) => sum + data.width + (index > 0 ? gap : 0), 0);
return { totalWidth, totalHeight: canvasHeight };
} else {
const totalHeight = imageData.reduce(
(sum, data, index) => sum + data.height + (index > 0 ? gap : 0), 0);
return { totalWidth: canvasWidth, totalHeight };
}
}
function setupCanvas(canvasElement, context, dimensions) {
const { totalWidth, totalHeight } = dimensions;
const devicePixelRatio = Math.min(window.devicePixelRatio || 1, 2);
canvasElement.width = totalWidth * devicePixelRatio;
canvasElement.height = totalHeight * devicePixelRatio;
if (devicePixelRatio !== 1) context.scale(devicePixelRatio, devicePixelRatio);
context.fillStyle = '#ffffff';
context.fillRect(0, 0, totalWidth, totalHeight);
}
function drawImages(context, imageData, axis, gap) {
let currentX = 0;
let currentY = 0;
context.save();
for (const data of imageData) {
context.drawImage(data.img, currentX, currentY, data.width, data.height);
if (axis === 'x') currentX += data.width + gap;
else currentY += data.height + gap;
}
context.restore();
}
function createTextureResult(canvasElement, dimensions) {
const texture = new THREE.CanvasTexture(canvasElement);
texture.needsUpdate = true;
texture.wrapS = THREE.RepeatWrapping;
texture.wrapT = THREE.ClampToEdgeWrapping;
texture.generateMipmaps = false;
texture.minFilter = THREE.LinearFilter;
texture.magFilter = THREE.LinearFilter;
return {
texture,
dimensions: {
width: dimensions.totalWidth,
height: dimensions.totalHeight,
aspectRatio: dimensions.totalWidth / dimensions.totalHeight,
},
};
}
export async function getCanvasTexture({
images,
gap = 10,
canvasHeight = 512,
canvasWidth = 512,
canvas,
ctx,
axis = 'x',
}) {
if (!images.length) throw new Error('No images');
// Create canvas and context if not provided
const canvasElement = canvas || document.createElement('canvas');
const context = ctx || canvasElement.getContext('2d');
if (!context) throw new Error('No context');
// Preload all images in parallel
const imageData = await Promise.all(
images.map((image) => preloadImage(image.url, axis, canvasHeight, canvasWidth))
);
// Calculate total canvas dimensions
const dimensions = calculateCanvasDimensions(imageData, axis, gap, canvasHeight, canvasWidth);
// Setup canvas
setupCanvas(canvasElement, context, dimensions);
// Draw all images
drawImages(context, imageData, axis, gap);
// Create and return texture result
return createTextureResult(canvasElement, dimensions)
}
Then we can also create a useCollageTexture hook that we can easily use in our components.
Now let’s use our useCollageTexture hook on our page. We’ll create some simple loading logic. It takes a second to fetch all the images and put them onto the canvas. Then we’ll pass our texture and dimensions of canvas into the Billboard component.
page.jsx
'use client';
import styles from './page.module.scss';
import Billboard from '@/components/webgl/Billboard/Billboard';
import Banner from '@/components/webgl/Banner/Banner';
import Loader from '@/components/ui/modules/Loader/Loader';
import images from '@/data/images';
import { View } from '@/webgl/View';
import { PerspectiveCamera } from '@react-three/drei';
import { useCollageTexture } from '@/hooks/useCollageTexture';
const COUNT = 10;
const GAP = 3.2;
export default function Home() {
const { texture, dimensions, isLoading } = useCollageTexture(images); // <-- getting the texture and dimensions from the useCollageTexture hook
if (isLoading) return <Loader />; // <-- showing the loader when the texture is loading
return (
<div className={styles.page}>
<View className={styles.view} orbit={false}>
<PerspectiveCamera makeDefault fov={7} position={[0, 0, 100]} near={0.01} far={100000} />
<group rotation={[-0.15, 0, -0.2]}>
{Array.from({ length: COUNT }).map((_, index) => [
<Billboard
key={`billboard-${index}`}
radius={5}
rotation={[0, index * Math.PI * 0.5, 0]}
position={[0, (index - (Math.ceil(COUNT / 2) - 1)) * GAP, 0]}
texture={texture} // <--passing the texture to the billboard
dimensions={dimensions} // <--passing the dimensions to the billboard
/>,
<Banner
key={`banner-${index}`}
radius={5.035}
rotation={[0, 0, 0.085]}
position={[
0,
(index - (Math.ceil(COUNT / 2) - 1)) * GAP - GAP * 0.5,
0,
]}
/>,
])}
</group>
</View>
</div>
);
}
Inside the Billboard component, we need to properly map this texture to make sure everything fits correctly. The width of our canvas will match the circumference of the cylinder, and we’ll center the y position of the texture. This way, all the images keep their resolution and don’t get squished or stretched.
Now let’s animate them using the useFrame hook. The trick to animating these images is to just move the X offset of the texture. This gives us the effect of a rotating mesh, when really we’re just moving the texture offset.
I think it would look even better if we made the back of the images a little darker. To do this, I created MeshImageMaterial – it’s just an extension of MeshBasicMaterial that makes our backface a bit darker.
MeshImageMaterial.js
import * as THREE from 'three';
import { extend } from '@react-three/fiber';
export class MeshImageMaterial extends THREE.MeshBasicMaterial {
constructor(parameters = {}) {
super(parameters);
this.setValues(parameters);
}
onBeforeCompile = (shader) => {
shader.fragmentShader = shader.fragmentShader.replace(
'#include <color_fragment>',
/* glsl */ `#include <color_fragment>
if (!gl_FrontFacing) {
vec3 blackCol = vec3(0.0);
diffuseColor.rgb = mix(diffuseColor.rgb, blackCol, 0.7);
}
`
);
};
}
extend({ MeshImageMaterial });
And now we have our images moving around cylinders. Next, we’ll focus on banners (or marquees, whatever you prefer).
Adding Texture to the Banner
The last thing we need to fix is our Banner component. I wrapped it with this texture. Feel free to take it and edit it however you want, but remember to keep the proper dimensions of the texture.
We simply import our texture using the useTexture hook, map it onto our material, and animate the texture offset just like we did in our Billboard component.
Billboard.jsx
'use client';
import * as THREE from 'three';
import bannerTexture from '@/assets/images/banner.jpg';
import { useTexture } from '@react-three/drei';
import { useFrame } from '@react-three/fiber';
import { useRef } from 'react';
function Banner({ radius = 1.6, ...props }) {
const ref = useRef(null);
const texture = useTexture(bannerTexture.src);
texture.wrapS = texture.wrapT = THREE.RepeatWrapping;
useFrame((state, delta) => {
if (!ref.current) return;
const material = ref.current.material;
if (material.map) material.map.offset.x += delta / 30;
});
return (
<mesh ref={ref} {...props}>
<cylinderGeometry
args={[radius, radius, radius * 0.07, radius * 80, radius * 10, true]}
/>
<meshBasicMaterial
map={texture}
map-anisotropy={16}
map-repeat={[15, 1]}
side={THREE.DoubleSide}
toneMapped={false}
backfaceRepeatX={3}
/>
</mesh>
);
}
export default Banner;
Nice! Now we have something cool, but I think it would look even cooler if we replaced the backface with something different. Maybe a gradient? For this, I created another extension of MeshBasicMaterial called MeshBannerMaterial. As you probably guessed, we just put a gradient on the backface. That’s it! Let’s use it in our Banner component.
We replace the MeshBasicMaterial with MeshBannerMaterial and now it looks like this!
MeshBannerMaterial.js
import * as THREE from 'three';
import { extend } from '@react-three/fiber';
export class MeshBannerMaterial extends THREE.MeshBasicMaterial {
constructor(parameters = {}) {
super(parameters);
this.setValues(parameters);
this.backfaceRepeatX = 1.0;
if (parameters.backfaceRepeatX !== undefined)
this.backfaceRepeatX = parameters.backfaceRepeatX;
}
onBeforeCompile = (shader) => {
shader.uniforms.repeatX = { value: this.backfaceRepeatX * 0.1 };
shader.fragmentShader = shader.fragmentShader
.replace(
'#include <common>',
/* glsl */ `#include <common>
uniform float repeatX;
vec3 pal( in float t, in vec3 a, in vec3 b, in vec3 c, in vec3 d ) {
return a + b*cos( 6.28318*(c*t+d) );
}
`
)
.replace(
'#include <color_fragment>',
/* glsl */ `#include <color_fragment>
if (!gl_FrontFacing) {
diffuseColor.rgb = pal(vMapUv.x * repeatX, vec3(0.5,0.5,0.5),vec3(0.5,0.5,0.5),vec3(1.0,1.0,1.0),vec3(0.0,0.10,0.20) );
}
`
);
};
}
extend({ MeshBannerMaterial });
Banner.jsx
'use client';
import * as THREE from 'three';
import bannerTexture from '@/assets/images/banner.jpg';
import { useTexture } from '@react-three/drei';
import { useFrame } from '@react-three/fiber';
import { useRef } from 'react';
import '@/webgl/materials/MeshBannerMaterial';
function Banner({ radius = 1.6, ...props }) {
const ref = useRef(null);
const texture = useTexture(bannerTexture.src);
texture.wrapS = texture.wrapT = THREE.RepeatWrapping;
useFrame((state, delta) => {
if (!ref.current) return;
const material = ref.current.material;
if (material.map) material.map.offset.x += delta / 30;
});
return (
<mesh ref={ref} {...props}>
<cylinderGeometry
args={[radius, radius, radius * 0.07, radius * 80, radius * 10, true]}
/>
<meshBannerMaterial
map={texture}
map-anisotropy={16}
map-repeat={[15, 1]}
side={THREE.DoubleSide}
toneMapped={false}
backfaceRepeatX={3}
/>
</mesh>
);
}
export default Banner;
You can experiment with this method in lots of ways. For example, I created 2 more examples with shapes I made in Blender, and mapped canvas textures on them. You can check them out here:

In today’s oversaturated landscape of production service companies vying for attention, Bloom Paris TV approached our studio with an extraordinarily bold ambition: to distinguish themselves through an uncompromising combination of refined style and substantive expertise. Strategically positioned in the cultural and creative heart of Paris, Bloom offers international productions comprehensive and seamless on-the-ground support throughout France — meticulously handling everything from complex technical logistics to complex administrative workflows and regulatory requirements.
But what truly sets Bloom apart is that they don’t merely facilitate shoots — they orchestrate them with exceptional precision, artistic vision, and unwavering reliability. In an industry where every minute counts, their discerning clients demand speed without sacrificing quality, complete trust in execution, and uncompromising excellence at every touchpoint. Bloom consistently delivers all three elements — seemingly effortlessly and with characteristic French sophistication.
Our mission became crystal clear: design and develop a digital experience that authentically reflects the remarkable sharpness of their creative eye, the methodical structure of their production process, and the sophisticated elegance of their flawless execution across every project they undertake.
The Concept
We approached the website design with one unambiguous and defining intention: make an immediate, memorable impact upon first impression.
Operating in a fast-paced industry where critical decisions are often made in mere seconds, we recognized that the digital experience needed to be simultaneously bold, fluid, and instantaneously engaging. Our strategic approach centered on minimalism with deliberate intent — methodically stripping away all superfluous elements while preserving only the absolute essentials, then thoughtfully amplifying Bloom’s distinctive core identity throughout the interface.
At the conceptual heart of Bloom’s sophisticated logo lies a deceptively simple dot — subtle in appearance yet powerful in significance. We strategically extended this symbolic element across the entire user interface: integrating it within interactive buttons, intuitive navigation elements, typographic superscripts, and responsive interaction states. This visual motif evolved into the unifying thread throughout the experience, functioning as a recurring punctuation mark that guides users through a clean, cinematic narrative journey.
Typography & Color System
After careful consideration, we selected a commanding, contemporary sans-serif typeface specifically chosen to convey professional confidence and exceptional clarity. This distinctive font effectively anchors the entire site within a precisely calibrated, almost editorial layout structure — creating a harmonious balance between the dynamically asymmetric grid system and the meticulously structured, authoritative tone of voice that characterizes Bloom’s communication style.
The carefully curated color palette features a sophisticated high-contrast dialogue between rich soft black and warm, inviting light grey, consciously avoiding the harshness of traditional monochrome combinations. A strategically placed vibrant yellow accent punctuates key interactive elements throughout the interface — subtly referencing cinematic film titles and professional cue markers, while simultaneously introducing a welcome sense of warmth, energy and approachability to the otherwise restrained interface design.
Technology Stack
Beneath the visually striking surface, the site is meticulously constructed with a powerful combination of technologies:
WordPress implemented as a robust, infinitely customizable content management system, providing Bloom with comprehensive control over their content strategy and presentation
GSAP for implementing buttery-smooth, cinematically-inspired animations and seamless page transitions throughout the experience
Custom-developed SVG masking techniques meticulously crafted to achieve elegantly seamless panel-based transitions between content sections
A fully responsive, thoroughly performance-optimized front-end architecture that ensures consistent excellence across all devices and connection speeds
Loader & Page Transitions
From the earliest conceptual discussions, we were determined to ensure that every transition moment within the experience would feel authentically cinematic and emotionally resonant.
Each individual page opens with a dynamically animated panel that dramatically reveals the upcoming section title with a sweeping, theatrical gesture. This carefully choreographed visual sequence not only significantly enhances user orientation within the site architecture, but deliberately sets the sophisticated tone for a fluid, immersive journey through Bloom’s professional world.
The distinctive homepage loader was specifically designed to create instant emotional resonance and connection: a fullscreen mask elegantly opens to dramatically reveal Bloom’s captivating showreel — creating an unforgettable first impression that immediately communicates their production capabilities. Thoughtfully combined with an interactive progress indicator, this element transforms into an engaging interactive curtain, gracefully inviting users to step into Bloom’s compelling narrative universe.
Project Grid & Hover States
Throughout the portfolio section, Bloom’s impressive projects are presented within a sophisticated asymmetric editorial grid structure, deliberately breaking the predictable monotony of conventional layouts while thoughtfully echoing the dynamic rhythm of visual storytelling. Individual content sizes and positions shift intuitively throughout the composition, creating intentional moments of both contemplative pause and energetic flow.
During user interaction, the signature dot elegantly reappears as an intuitive focus indicator, while a smoothly animated marquee title gracefully glides over the preview image — simultaneously drawing attention and adding perceptual depth to the experience. This carefully considered combination creates a remarkably tactile, multi-layered effect that meaningfully rewards user interaction without overwhelming the visual hierarchy or distracting from the exceptional quality of Bloom’s project portfolio.
Footer
Thoughtfully designed as a final memorable touchpoint rather than an afterthought, the site’s footer functions as much more than a mere sign-off — it serves as an compelling invitation to further engagement.
The footer section artfully reprises elements from the initial showreel presentation, elegantly contained within a precisely masked frame that maintains consistent visual language throughout the experience. Both functionally informative and poetically expressive, this distinctive footer ensures that Bloom’s powerful brand experience lingers in the user’s memory — even long after the final scroll action concludes their immediate journey.
Who We Are
We proudly define ourselves as a specialized digital design studio operating at the fascinating intersection of compelling narrative, intuitive interaction design, and cutting-edge technology implementation. We fundamentally believe in the transformative power of crafting digital interfaces that move with deliberate intention and purpose, thoughtfully combining minimalist aesthetic principles with boldly distinctive creative identity expressions.
With each project we undertake, we consistently strive to create memorable digital experiences that communicate with exceptional clarity, move with captivating beauty, and feel genuinely alive and responsive to human interaction.

India has officially entered a new era of digital governance with the enactment of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023. For businesses, the clock is ticking.
The Act mandates how organizations handle personal data and introduces significant penalties for non-compliance. It’s not just an IT issue anymore; it’s a boardroom concern that cuts across legal, HR, marketing, and product teams.
This blog provides an essential compliance checklist to help Indian businesses understand and align with the DPDP Act before enforcement begins.
Understand What Qualifies as Digital Personal Data
Under the DPDP Act, personal data refers to any data about an identifiable individual. The law applies to data:
Collected digitally, or
Digitized from non-digital sources and then processed.
Whether you’re storing customer details, employee information, or vendor records, it’s covered if it’s personal and digital.
Appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO)
You’ll need a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if your organization processes large volumes of personal data. This person must:
Act as the point of contact for the Data Protection Board of India.
Ensure compliance across departments.
Handle grievance redressal from data principals (users).
Map and Classify Your Data
Before securing or managing personal data, you must know what you have. Conduct a complete data discovery and classification exercise:
Identify where personal data resides (servers, cloud apps, local drives).
Categorize it by sensitivity and usage.
Tag data to individuals (data principals) and note the purpose of collection.
This is foundational to compliance, enabling you to correctly apply retention, consent, and deletion rules.
Implement Robust Consent Mechanisms
The DPDP Act emphasizes informed, specific, and granular consent. Ensure your systems can:
Capture affirmative user consent before data collection.
Clearly state the purpose for which the data is collected.
Allow easy withdrawal of consent at any time.
Dark patterns, pre-checked boxes, or vague terms won’t cut it anymore.
Enable Data Principal Rights
The Act grants every individual (data principal) the right to:
Know what personal data is being collected.
Access and correct their data.
Request deletion of their data.
Nominate someone to exercise rights posthumously.
You must build systems that can fulfill such requests within a reasonable timeframe. A sluggish or manual process here could result in reputational damage and fines.
Revamp Your Privacy Policy
Your privacy policy must reflect your compliance posture. It should be:
Written in clear, simple language (avoid legalese).
Updated to include new consent practices and rights.
Accessible on all platforms where data is collected.
Transparency builds trust and aligns with the DPDP mandate for fair processing.
Review and Redefine Data Sharing Agreements
If your company works with third parties (vendors, cloud providers, agencies), it’s time to revisit all data processing agreements:
Ensure contracts specify responsibilities and liabilities under the DPDP Act.
Avoid sharing data with parties that cannot ensure compliance.
Include clauses about breach notification and data retention.
Establish a Breach Response Protocol
The law mandates reporting data breaches to the Data Protection Board and affected users. Prepare by:
Setting up a dedicated incident response team.
Creating SOPs for breach detection, containment, and reporting.
Running breach simulation drills for preparedness.
Time is critical; delays in breach reporting can attract harsh penalties.
Train Your Teams
Compliance isn’t just about tools; it’s about people. Conduct mandatory training sessions for all employees, especially those in:
IT and data management
Sales and marketing (who handles customer data)
HR (who manage employee records)
Awareness is your first line of defense against accidental data misuse.
Invest in Technology for Automation and Governance
Manual compliance is error-prone and unsustainable. Consider deploying:
Data Discovery & Classification tools to auto-tag and manage personal data.
Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) to handle user permissions.
Access Control & Encryption solutions to protect data at rest and in transit.
Platforms like Seqrite Data Privacy offer end-to-end visibility and control, ensuring you stay audit-ready and compliant.
The Bottom Line
The DPDP Act is not a one-time checkbox—it demands continuous, demonstrable accountability. Indian businesses must view it as a catalyst for digital transformation, not just a regulatory hurdle.
By acting now, you avoid penalties and earn consumer trust in an era where privacy is a competitive differentiator.

TLDR: Want to open shady or weird links without wrecking your computer? Use a URL sandbox at browserling.com/browse. It runs remotely outside of your browser. No installs, no downloads. Just click and go.
What’s a URL Sandbox?
A URL sandbox is a safe place to open websites. It’s like using a remote computer. When you visit a site in the sandbox, it’s not actually loading on your device, it’s loading on a remote machine in remote data center. That means viruses, popups, or anything sketchy stays far away from you.
Why Use a URL Sandbox?
Sometimes you get a link that look weird. Maybe it’s from a sketchy email, a random message, or a website that just feels off. You don’t want to risk opening it on your real browser.
With a URL sandbox, you can open that link in an isolated virtual machine. If it’s dangerous, it can’t hurt your system. It’s like opening a snake cage, but you’re behind bulletproof glass.
Do I Need to Install Anything?
Nope. No installs. No downloads. No setup. Just go to browserling.com/browse, paste your URL, and you’ll get a sandboxed browser. It works right in your current browser, and nothing gets saved on your device.
Can I Choose Different Browsers?
Yep. You can try out Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, even old versions of Internet Explorer. This is super useful if you’re testing how a website looks or behaves in different browsers. Or if you’re trying to trigger something that only runs in a certain browser version (like a 0-day payload).
Is It Free?
Yes, there’s a free plan. You get a few minutes to test things. If you need more time or more features (like geo-browsing or file uploads), there are paid options too.
How Is A URL Sandbox Different From Antivirus?
Antivirus software scans your device after something is downloaded or opened. A URL sandbox blocks the danger before it ever touches your system. With a URL sandbox, you’re stopping danger at the door, not cleaning up the mess afterward.
Can I Use It To Open Suspicious Email Links?
Yes, and you should. If you get a weird link in an email, just drop it into the sandbox and check it safely. It keeps you out of harm’s way and lets you see what the link does without risking your device.
Is It Safe for Testing Malware?
Yes, it’s one of the safest ways to do it. Security researchers use URL sandboxes every day to analyze malware behavior in a fully isolated space. It’s a controlled, no-risk way to see how dangerous files or links act.
What Is Browserling?
Browserling is the tool that powers the URL sandbox. It gives you access to real web browsers running on remote computers. You’re basically "remote controlling" a safe browser that lives in the cloud. With Browserling you can browse safely, test websites in different browsers, open risky files like sketchy PDFs, and click links without worrying.
Who Uses Browserling?
Millions of people! Developers, security teams, schools, IT pros, and even government agencies. Companies use it to test websites. Cybersecurity folks use it to investigate shady stuff. Regular users use it to stay safe online.
TLDR: You can grab a discount for Browserling (a super handy online browser) by using the coupon code ONLINEBROWSER at browserling.com. It gives you 30% off premium plans. Works for developers, hackers, testers, and anyone browsing online.
What’s the Online Browser Coupon For?
This code gives you a discount on Browserling‘s premium plans. If you’ve been using the free version but keep hitting the time limit, now’s your chance to upgrade. Just head to Browserling’s pricing page and enter ONLINEBROWSER when checking out.
Why Use an Online Browser?
It’s basically a browser that runs in the cloud. No installs, no setup. Just click and you’re inside a live Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or even Internet Explorer (yeah, really). It streams right into your browser.
This is super useful when you:
Want to open sketchy links without risking your machine.
Need to cross-browser test websites in different browsers.
Get suspicious email attachments (open them here instead).
Need to do security research or open malware sites.
Work in dev, QA, pentesting, or sysadmin stuff.
Is an Online Browser Safe?
Yep. Everything runs in a sandbox on remote servers. If something explodes, it doesn’t affect your system. Your IP is hidden too, so it’s also good for private browsing.
Pro Tip: Use It From a Chromebook
An online browser works great on low-power machines like Chromebooks. Since the browser runs remotely, you can do full browser testing or malware link checking without needing a high-end laptop.
What Is Browserling?
Browserling is a secure online browser that lets you open risky links, test email attachments, and run different browsers without installing anything. It all runs in a sandbox, so your device stays safe, even when visiting sketchy sites or doing malware research.
Who Uses Browserling?
Browserling is trusted by developers, bug bounty hunters, cybersecurity researchers, and even major companies that need safe browsers. Teams at banks, governments, and tech firms use it for secure testing, but it’s just as useful for solo testers, students, or anyone who wants to explore the web without putting their device at risk. Whether you’re writing code, checking phishing emails, or analyzing shady links, it’s a tool that fits right in.
TLDR: Need to test a website in a different browser or see how it looks on another system? Try a browser inside your browser at browserling.com/browse. We created tech that runs real browsers (like Chrome, Edge, Safari) on remote computers and shows them in your own browser. No downloads or installs.
What’s a “Browser In Browser”?
It’s exactly what it sounds like. A browser that runs inside your regular browser. But it’s not on your computer. It’s on a remote server far away. That means any viruses, popups, or other dangerous stuff stay over there, not on your device.
So instead of opening a risky website on your own laptop or phone, you load it inside this remote browser. It’s like using a totally different machine, except you’re controlling it through your browser.
Why Should I Use It?
Ever get a sketchy link in an email or random message? Maybe it’s from someone you don’t know, or it just feels off. You want to check it out, but don’t want to take the risk.
That’s where the browser in browser comes in. You paste the link into Browserling, and it opens in a virtual computer somewhere else. If the site’s loaded with malware or popups, they never reach you.
Think of it like this: You’re looking at a snake through thick glass. You can study it, poke around, but it can’t bite you.
Do I Have to Download Anything?
Nope. Nothing to download. No apps. No extensions. Just visit browserling.com/browse, enter the link you want to check, and that’s it. You’re now browsing from a safe, secondary browser. It works instantly from Chrome, Firefox, or whatever browser you’re already using.
Can I Use Different Browsers?
Yep! You can choose between Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and even older versions of Internet Explorer (for that old-school bug testing). This is exactly for checking how a site looks in different browsers. Developers love this feature, and so do hackers (in a good way) who test for security problems. It’s also useful for checking browser compatibility issues, CSS bugs, and layout glitches.
Is It Free?
Yes, there’s a free version. You get a few minutes to use it at a time. That’s usually enough to check out a link. If you want longer sessions, file uploads, or other pro tools (like browsing from other countries), you can upgrade to a paid plan.
How Is It Different From a VPN?
A VPN hides your location, but it doesn’t protect your browser from malware or popups. A browser in browser is safer because it runs the whole site on a different computer, not your own. You get privacy and safety without risking damage to your system.
Can I Open Suspicious Email Links With It?
Yes, that’s one of the smartest ways to use it. Just copy the link from the email and open it in the remote browser. Your actual inbox stays untouched. This is a top method for avoiding phishing attacks and drive-by downloads.
Can I Test Attachments Like PDFs Or Word Files?
Certainly. Just click the attachment link (like a PDF or DOCX file) in your browser, and it’ll open inside the second browser instantly. That way, if there’s anything sketchy hiding in the file, it stays isolated in the innert browser and never touches your actual computer.
What If I Want To Test Links From Different Countries?
With the paid plan, you can choose the location of the inner browser. This lets you see how a website looks from other countries or test geo-targeted content.
What Is Browserling?
Browserling is the company behind the browser in browser technology. They run real browsers on real computers in a data center, and you control them from your own screen. It’s kind of like remote desktop, but made just for browsing. It can be used to test how websites look across browsers, open risky or unknown links, check out sketchy files (like strange PDFs or Word documents), and stay safe while exploring the web.
Who Uses Browserling?
Millions of people use Browserling! Web developers testing code, cybersecurity teams checking bad links, IT departments doing browser testing, schools and students getting around IT admins, and even government agencies. Basically, anyone who wants to open stuff safely or test how sites work in different browsers.
