Browser sandboxes

A sandbox that runs a browser instead of a terminal, for viewing and interacting with web pages from the console.

A browser sandbox is a disposable sandbox that runs a browser instead of a terminal — useful when what you need to do is load a page and interact with it, not run a script.

Browser sandbox vs. a regular sandbox

Both are created and cleaned up from the console the same way. The difference is what's inside: a regular sandbox gives you a code editor and terminal for a Python, Node, or custom environment. A browser sandbox gives you a live browser view in the console instead — there's no code editor, just a page you can navigate and interact with directly.

Tip
Rule of thumb: if you want to run code, create a sandbox. If you want to load and look at a page, create a browser sandbox instead.

Create a browser sandbox

From the Sandboxes page, click New Browser Sandbox. No template is needed — every browser sandbox starts from the same clean browser image.

Manage browser sandboxes

Browser sandboxes appear alongside regular sandboxes on the Sandboxes page, with the same status and delete controls.
