Notes
For iOS / iPad OS, due to OS specifications, the Secure Browser app cannot prohibit user access to local storage or taking screenshots.
On Android OS, since the Secure Browser app can restrict access to local storage and screenshots, these differences exist.
Due to the specifications of Windows / Mac OS, the Secure Browser Desktop app cannot prohibit user access to the camera or microphone.
