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

Comments

Thanks. There were some good points raised there specific to the secure remote isolated browser use case.

I'm 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.

The concept is this could perform much better than local Chrome - the cloud has much lower latency to CDN's, a much bigger pipe, and a much better CPU than my phone/laptop for all that javascript.

But the reality (for me at least), is I get a far laggier experience than local Chrome. Hopefully a bit more performance tweaking will flip that.

Please don't repost Show HNs that often and not until there's some major change in the project. This is in the rules:
