> Honestly, the reality of running remote browser infra and development is that a free version just gets instantly hammered by botnets, scrapers, and abuse. Keeping it paid is the only way to be sustainable.
Ah but I'd want to run it myself anyway. I wouldn't want it hosted. Especially for browsing, I don't want someone else's systems looking over my shoulder.
I avoid cloud stuff as much as possible in my personal life. When you mentioned github actions I thought it was something you could self-host too, I didn't realise it was a service only. I was looking for a docker or something but as it's not free and (less importantly) foss it won't work for me.
And yes neko is not a polished corporate solution, but it works for me as a home user. It's very flexible to build other stuff with. I have several instances here in different environments (and I don't expose them to the clear internet)
But for work yeah I know there's different options, at work we have zscaler remote browser.
Totally, I get that. That's why BrowserBox is also self-hosted, and yes, has a Docker image, too! Not free nor foss, tho. But I do try to be flexible.
As to cloud - indeed, why would you want to trust a cloud provider with sensitive internal browsing? Also, providing a SaaS is a hassle, but I feel I must do it serve that side and enable those uses, some of which are cool.
Ohh I didn't realise that it's your product, sorry. It sounds interesting but I'm only a home user (in Europe with not much budget). I just use remote browsers now for navigating the complex patchwork of blocks in the EU. Some sites are blocked in holland, others in spain, etc.
