The next major version of Safe Exam Browser for Windows. SEB 3.x for Windows has been completely refactored and uses Chromium as integrated browser engine. However, SEB 3.0.0 does not yet provide the complete feature set of SEB 2.x (e.g. no Additional Resources). Below a list of the most prominent new features and changes:
- New, embedded browser engine (Chromium Version 79.0.3945.130 for SEB 3.0.0).
- Dedicated builds for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
- Supports kiosk mode switch when reconfiguring (e.g. from Create New Desktop to Disable Explorer Shell).
- Action Center (side menu) with same functionality as taskbar (i.e. access to applications and system controls).
- Lock Screen which is activated if a prohibited application can’t be terminated.
- Access to developer tools of browser engine (for web developers).
- Real-time access to SEB application log (e.g. to test features like the URL filter).
- New settings to control browser session (for SEB-Moodle Deeper Integration).
- Improved user interface with new features (e.g. thumbnails of open windows in task view [ALT+TAB]).
- Completely automated build system with unit tests.
