Yes, I have seen some options in action.  You can virtualize browsers using VDI
today.  There is also "remote browser isolation" which can kick off a browser
that runs in an isolated application container.  

The pro is the browser is basically in a sandbox.  The negative is the browser
is in a sandbox - so if you download files, not as simple to move things around.
 If the intent is for an average user that just web surfs only and is a high
"click risk", this is the best option.  Even if the virtual browser gets
infected, it will revert back to it's original state after the app is closed.
