Comment on Show HN: Open-source app to turn headless Chrome into a normal browser

Comments

Don't hit the free demos too hard. I made the instances alot smaller since last time. Just posting because it's clear that this is more than just a security product. It's a UI and backend to use headless chrome like a regular browser, except in the cloud instead of your device.

Apart from security, or automation (not finished that part yet), I don't know why you might want this, but I thought it was cool and so I'm sharing it because you might need it for something.

Recording and playback of complex bug reports might be nice.

Instead of having a user install screen recording software or hop on a screen share, just have them click a link that opens the app in one of these, repro the bug, and then close it.

Could be a feature of BrowserGap (or something built on it) to send that recording to whoever set up the link.
