ArtisBrowser : Secure Web Browser For Copy Protection

Secure web browser for all OS and devices The ArtisBrowser has been specially designed to provide the most robust and impenetrable copy protection for web pages. Today it is the only web browser suitable for copy protected web sites because other browsers no longer support real browser plugins that can action at system level. When used to display content delivered by the ArtistScope Site Protection Software (ASPS) or a CopySafe solution, it can provide the most secure copy protection for web pages ever imagined. Nothing can be saved, copied or extracted, even from browser cache or memory. The ArtisBrowser and ASPS combination provides superior data security and data loss prevention that is incomparable.

As a web browser the ArtisBrowser is very different to popular browsers that were designed to exploit web media and intellectual property. None of the exploits commonly found in other browsers are possible when viewing copy protected web pages.

Website Protection Solutions

ArtisBrowser has been specially designed for copy protection and ideal for use with the following solutions:

ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) - ASPS server software can be installed as a server-side filter on dedicated/virtual servers (for both Windows and Apache) to apply copy protection to web pages to be encrypted so that only the ArtisBrowser can decode and display them on Windows and Mac computers, and Android and iOS phones.
CopySafe PDF Protection - CopySafe PDF provides the most secure copy protection for PDF that can be displayed on the desktop using the CopySafe Reader, or displayed online from web pages while viewed using ArtisBrowser. CopySafe PDF is Windows only.
CopySafe Video Protection - CopySafe Video provides the most effective copy protection for video. CopySafe Video files can be viewed on the desktop using the CopySafe Video player, or they can be displayed online on web pages for view in ArtisBrowser. CopySafe Video is Windows only.
CopySafe Web Protection - CopySafe Web provides copy protection for web pages, images and other media as an alternative for those with hosted web sites (as opposed to a dedicated or virtual server). Although not as effective as ASPS, CopySafe Web does not require a dedicated/virtual server and can be used on any web page. CopySafe Web is Windows only.

ASPS is the most besy and most secure copy protection solution that supports all OS and devices including mobile phones, but it requires a dedicated server or VPS for the rights to install at system level. However web sites on shared hosting servers can still use ASPS indirectly by using one of the following solutions:

Copy Protected Web Hosting is a copy protected web hosting service that includes file storage for images, PDF and video.
SafeGuard DRM is a WordPress plugin that will add access rights to any WordPress web page or post that can include embedded PDF or video.
SafeGuard Media is a WordPress plugin that will add copy protected images, PDF and video to any WordPress page or post.
SafeGuard Webmail will copy protect email and team messaging on which images, PDF and video can be displayed. No website required.

Privacy Browser

ArtisBrowser privacy is incomparable. Other applications cannot extract anything from browser cache or memory, and the only tracking possible will be by the secure sites that you log into for security purposes. Unlike most other browsers, ArtisBrowser is not an advertising gimmick or for the purpose of tracking your search preferences for market researchers and spamvertisers. In fact, any pages delivered by the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) cannot be decrypted without ArtisBrowser.

Kiosk Browser

ArtisBrowser can be used as a kiosk browser by setting the "Kiosk Mode" meta-tag on your ASPS web page to enforce full screen without a browser toolbar to escape that view. In Kiosk Mode the user is limited to the options provided by the web designer, making it ideal for information desks or for use in corporate networks such as for stock and inventory management.

Safest Exam Browser

ArtisBrowser is the best choice for a safe exam browser because it leaves no avenue open to exploit at all. Unlike other exam browsers that are clones of browsers designed to be cross purpose to data security, ArtisBrowser has been designed with the protection of data and media as the paramount concern. For general use ArtisBrowser looks and feels like a normal web browser, but when viewing CopySafe or ASPS protected pages, it switches to protection mode and by using Kiosk Mode the user cannot access other web pages or search for the answer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does ArtisBrowser compare with other web browsers?

Most other web browser are designed to be popular, which means that they include every conceivable tool imaginable. However that makes them totally unsuitable for websites wanting to protect their intellectual property because every tool that was ever built into a web browser for saving, downloading and copying web page contact is always at the ready.

In contrast ArtisBrowser is not designed to be popular and may not be suitable as a "default" web browser except in corporate networks and classrooms. However, copy tools aside, ArtisBrowser as a web reading tool is second to none.

What if my users prefer to use their own default web browser?

Settling for a copy protection solution that works in normal web browsers is self defeating because nothing can be properly protected while on display in web browsers designed to copy anything and everything. There used to be a time when our solutions supported all browsers, but compromises had to be made that resulted in less control. Now that door has been closed, DRM and copy protection can now be more secure than ever imagined.

Can ArtisBrowser be used on Mac and mobile phones?

Yes. Artisbrowser is vailable for all Windows versions, all Mac OSX versions, all iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android mobile phones. A Linux version will be available very soon.

What if we don't want to allow access to mobile phones?

Site owners and webmasters can opt to allow/disallow any operating (OS) in their page settings. For convenience we provide Tag Management plugins for most CMS like WordPress, Moodle, Drupal, Joomla and even DotNetNuke for managing page settings. With those plugins the pages to be protected can be set by simply nominating a keyword/s found in their url.

You can also allow/disallow Windows, Mac, iOS, Android. If that is not enough control, you can also nominate the miniumum version for each OS to ensure that your users have the latest and most secure version before gaining access to your content.

Can anyone use ArtisBrowser including ArtistScope competitors?

Anyone can use ArtisBrowser for its anti-copy features, but to fully utilise its copy protection power, it needs to be used with an ArtistScope solution where pages and media intended for copy protection begin their journey at the server.

For example the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) is a server side HTML filter that encrypts pages for viewing by ArtisBrowser, thus creating a secure tunnel between server and the user's desktop. Not all pages are encrypted, just those tagged for copy protection. While on display any pages flagged for protect mode are most securely protected from all avenues of exploit including screenshots and screen recording. They are even safe from packet sniffing software.

Is ArtisBrowser free to use?

Yes. Artisbrowser is free to download and install by anyone.

Can I provide downloads for ArtisBrowser from my own website?

There is nothing to prevent this but it's not recommended at all. In fact the online scenario that would warrant it is if your users are on an inhouse/corporate network without access to the web.

Otherwise you are likely to trigger all sorts of problems. For a start you would need to maintain that downloads are for the latest version and while your site may allow older versions, the next site that they visist using ArtisBrowser may not. But the biggest problem that you will face is that Apple and Android phones need to install from their approved app centers. For example Android needs to install from Google Play and iOS needs to install from the Apple Store.

Using the install pages on artisbrowser.com solves all of those problems. Those pages will also check the user's operating system (OS) and nominate the best download... and those pages are available in 25 different languages.

Can ArtisBrowser be branded?

Not in this lifetime or the next. By saying that we are saving you from a lot more problems than you can imagine. For a clue, consider the maintenance and cost of ongoing updates when needed, plus the reputation checks by all the different brands of anti-virus software that people manage to find.
