Abstract

Web browsers play a crucial role in accessing and interacting with information on the internet. However, they also present significant security challenges due to their complexity and the diverse range of threats they face. This paper provides an overview of web browser security, focusing on the key challenges, vulnerabilities, and defences. It discusses common attack vectors, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF), as well as browser security features like sandboxing, secure storage, and Content Security Policy (CSP). Additionally, the paper explores emerging threats and future directions in web browser security, highlighting the importance of ongoing research and collaboration among browser vendors, developers, and security experts to ensure a more secure browsing experience for users.
