About ArtisBrowser


ArtisBrowser is the only web browser that is suitable for DRM and copy protection. When used in conjunction with the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) a secure tunnel is created between the website and the user's device in which nothing can be copied in any way. All content including media links are safe from download and extraction, even from media grabbers and packet sniffers.

Why use ArtisBrowser?

While it may seem convenient to use one's default browser, normal web browsers are in fact useless for copy protection. Anyone putting faith in solutions that claim to be able to protect media in such browsers is making a big mistake because normal web browsers are designed to do just the opposite. Don't be fooled by claims about browser add-ons and extensions because hindering right-click mouse actions is only the tip of a huge attack area.

To properly prevent all methods of save, download, copy and recording, copy protection needs to be actioned at system level. Only by using a web browser especially designed for copy protection that real copy protection is possible.

ArtistScope invented copy protection for the web in 1998. Keeping abreast of changes in web browsers was an arduous and ongoing task. With every new relase a sinkhole could be opened. It wasn't until ArtisBrowser was first released in 2011 that a stable platform was finally possible. Early versions of ArtisBrowser were limited for use on ASPS websites only, but in 2015 when browser makers dropped support for real plugins (NPAPI plugins could interact at system level), it became evident that ArtisBrowser was indeed the only hope for protecting intellectual property and that ArtisBrowser needed to be more versatile for users to be able to navigate to protected webs.

DRM & Copy Protect Features

  • All web page content including media is protected from all copy techniques.
  • Media such as images, PDF and videos cannot screenshot or recorded.
  • Data cannot be extracted from cache or memory.
  • Unique user identification for access rights (DRM).
  • Supported on all OS/devices including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android phones.
  • Functions like a normal web browser on unprotected pages.

NOTE: ArtisBrowser only switches to Protect Mode when viewing ASPS protected pages.

Why use the ArtistScope Site Protection System?

The ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) is incomparable. There is no other solution like it.

ASPS encrypts web pages before they leave the server and ArtisBrowser is the only means of decrypting those pages. While those pages are displayed in ArtisBrowser they cannot be copied or exploited in any way. Other web browsers don't even get to see the encrypted content and not even packet sniffers can extract any useful information. However only pages tagged for protection are encrypted and protected, leaving the rest of the web site open to the public to serve as doorway pages and search engine fodder.
