Solution
A lockdown-browser alternative — no download required
PRUEFSTER uses visual detection instead of a lockdown browser: nothing to install, low support effort, and lower privacy risk. A lockdown browser can still be combined if you need it.

Frequently asked questions
Does PRUEFSTER offer a lockdown browser?
No — we use visual detection, which needs no download. A lockdown browser can be combined with our proctoring if your exam requires it.
Why avoid a lockdown browser?
It adds a download, raises support effort, and carries higher privacy risk by locking the participant’s device.
