Microsoft researchers are working on a new browser called Gazelle which it promises will have some impressive new features and capabilities. Gazelle, relies on a “browser kernel” (5,000 lines of C# code) that helps enforce security rules to prevent malicious access to the PC’s underlying operating system.

Microsoft Gazelle browser Details


Gazelle is different from some other browsers in that it considers each part of a Web site — such as iframes, subframes, and plug-ins — as separate elements. Some of those elements can pull in malicious content from other Web sites. Google’s Chrome runs a Web page and its elements in a single process.

Another interesting feature of Gazelle is aimed at blocking so-called race condition attacks. In that scenario, an attacker creates a Web page aimed at making a user click on an area of the page. But just before the predicted click happens, an overlay is drawn into the page, which could cause a user to be attacked. Gazelle will ignore any clicks in newly exposed screen areas for about one second until a user can see the new screen areas.
