transmitting fifth Internet content associated with the remote cloud browsing session to the second user device, wherein the second user device initiates display of, using the graphical processing unit (GPU) comprised in the second user device, the fifth Internet content, or sixth Internet content based on the fifth Internet content, to a second user of the second user device.

9. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the access to the logged data enables the determination of the data associated with the at least one of the request for the Internet content from the user device located in the second location, the second location associated with the user device, the remote cloud browsing session, the second Internet content, the third Internet content, the user device, or the Internet application without breaking Internet traffic associated with at least one of the remote cloud browsing session, the user device, or the Internet application.

10. A method associated with a remote cloud browsing session executed at a first location, comprising:

receiving, using one or more computing device processors, a request for Internet content from a user device located in a second location different from the first location, wherein the user device executes an Internet application associated with the remote cloud browsing session, and wherein the Internet content is associated with the remote cloud browsing session;

determining, using the one or more computing device processors, the second location associated with the user device;

communicating, using the one or more computing device processors, with an Internet content source to access the Internet content, such that the user device is substantially insulated from communicating directly with the Internet content source or receiving the Internet content directly from the Internet content source;

transmitting, using the one or more computing device processors, second Internet content to the user device, wherein the user device initiates display of, using a graphical processing unit (GPU) comprised in the user device, the second Internet content, or third Internet content based on the second Internet content, to a user of the user device;

logging, using the one or more computing device processors, data associated with at least one of the request for the Internet content from the user device located in the second location, the second location associated with the user device, the remote cloud browsing session, the second Internet content, or the third Internet content, thereby resulting in logged data; and

enabling, using the one or more computing device processors, a remote device application, associated with a remote computing system located in a remote location different from the first location and the second location, to access the logged data,

wherein access to the logged data enables determination of data associated with at least one of the request for the Internet content from the user device located in the second location, the second location associated with the user device, the remote cloud browsing session, the second Internet content, the third Internet content, the user device, an enterprise network, or the Internet application.
