It will be neat to see how this runs in a VM, which already is providing some hardware isolation. I have found the TBB as it exists now running in a "tightly configured" VM does a pretty good job already. This addition will make for an interesting comparison.
Yes, TOR can be run within Sandboxie but according to their website it's not "guaranteed to work": ---- But at the moment only linux users have the pleasure to experiment with the new "Sandboxed Tor Browser":
I suspect this post may not prove to be well received by all here. The new browser being worked on is in Alpha mode and those running it are using a few other toys to keep safe while kinks are being worked out. The team hasn't touched Windows yet in any significant way. There is a reason for that. I know folks get tired of me "chanting" about Linux and ditching Windows. I decided to take a "snap" from a thread going in the forum, hoping if you read it from the source it might sink in. Copy - from https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-65a6-released Overall, although Microsoft has taken steps to improve its operating system's security, they really haven't given us many options to provide Tor Browser users with a solid sandbox. The best features they provide are only available to enterprise users who pay for the more expensive versions of Windows. While I'm sure there are ways to improve security on Windows beyond what we have now (and beyond easy things for users to do like installing EMET and using an unprivileged main account), the effort required would not give us a huge benefit. It's better to work on Linux and tell Windows users to switch over if they need actual security. Not that Linux is inherently more secure on its own, but Linux certainly provides a better infrastructure to secure applications and reduce attack surface area that Windows is utterly incapable of. end copy. Don't shoot the messenger!
