Sandboxing is a popular use of virtual machines (VMs) on client-side environments, allowing software to be executed in a controlled and isolated environment. This is particularly useful for testing untrusted software or code without risk to the host system or network. While other reasons for using VMs exist, sandboxing provides the advantage of security and isolation.
