Windows Defender Application Guard for Chrome and Firefox

Windows Defender Application Guard: Microsoft released a new extension for Google and Mozilla's Firefox, which is supposed to protect users when they visit dangerous websites.

Windows Defender Application Guard, which is available for download only for insiders at the moment, has a very simple role: to check the website you are trying to open to see if it is trustworthy or not.Windows Defender Application Guard

If the page is considered dangerous by Microsoft, the extension will trigger the sandboxed Microsoft Edge, which means it will not matter if the page is dangerous or not, as it will not be able to reach your data.

“The extension is based on a native application we built to support program-to-program communication and Application Guard settings," Microsoft says.

Microsoft also says that the extension is designed to provide a seamless experience. So if users do not visit malicious η sandboxed λειτουργία θα αντικαθίσταται αυτόματα στις τυπικές ρυθμίσεις.

"In the sandboxed mode of Microsoft Edge, the user can freely navigate to any website that is not explicitly defined as trusted, without any risk to the rest . With the ability to dynamically switch, if the user tries to go to a trusted website while in sandboxed mode of Microsoft Edge, they will be returned to the default browser," Microsoft says.

Once you've installed the browser extension, you'll see a page that describes in detail how everything works. The extension will automatically check if all conditions are met on your computer.
For example, the extension will scan your device to see if it is compatible, if Application Guard is installed and the feature is enabled.

Needless to say, the extension is only available for that run with Windows 10 and you can download the one you are interested in from the following links:
