    Using Windows 10 Home, you won't be able to use the Sandbox feature of WDAG.

    But you can still use the embedded Windows Defender Browser Protectionin Edge.

    In Chrome, you will need to install an extension:
    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/windo...

    Unfortunately, there is no extension for Firefox yet.

    Windows Defender Browser Protection will check it against a constantly updated list of malicious URLs known to Microsoft.

    If the malicious link matches one on the list, Windows Defender Browser Protection will show a red warning screen letting you know that the web page you are about to visit is known to be harmful, giving you a clear path back to safety with one click.
