Noob Question - Prisma Browser (anarchist.nexus)

My company wants us to use the Prisma Browser if we are using personal devices to access corporate resources.

My question: can this browser/my employer see what other apps are running on my personal PC when Prisma is open?

OS is Fedora if that matters.

Maybe sandbox it. Put it in a chroot or VM or something. It doesn't always work as there are sometimes exploits to break out of those, but worth a shot.

Also, if you're just webbrowsing, you could buy a cheapo outdated notebook/PC and slap it on there. I got old hardware even for free a few times. You can still use it for simple things, like webbrowsing or retro games.

I have a separate work laptop, no issue there. I just like my personal monitor/kB/mouse when working from home and was wondering what they could see from a browser.

I'll continue using the dedicated work laptop given some of the answers!

Why not pick up a KVM switch?
