Run browser in Sandboxie or in full Virtual Machine?

[shmu26]

Instead of running the browser in SBIE, what about running it in a dedicated VM that contains no sensitive data or applications?
The VM could be run in unity or seamless mode, and could be equipped with security softs for safe browsing.

What are the pros and cons?

Takes a bit to make a virtual machine. If your running in sandboxie your browser will be better detected anyway

please explain what it means that browser will be better detected. Detected by what? Yes, it will be better integrated into the system, that's for sure.

Oops I meant protected sorry for the mistype.

Running a VM takes a while to setup using a Sandbox is more time efficient. Anything you find suspicious can be looked at through the sandbox

VM consumes more resources. Set up is time intensive. From usability perspective, SBIE is easier and quite safe if properly configured.
