Add an additional layer of security

How it works

  • A headless version of the Chromium browser runs all browser code on Cloudflare's global network, instead of on your endpoints.
  • Unlike pixel pushing or DOM rendering, Cloudflare streams draw commands, which use less bandwidth and create a seamless user experience.
  • Security patches for zero-day vulnerabilities are automatically deployed to remote browsers on Cloudflare's network.
