It's be great if html.brow.sh could become a sophisticated proxy that stripped the web down to an absolute bare minimum. Yes I think travelers are the most likely to pay for it, but I think the poorer people of less developed nations would be the largest sector of users.

Currently though html.brow.sh is non-interactive, as soon as I start letting people logging in it opens up a whole bunch of privacy concerns!




Thanks for the answer. Well, created a Linux container (Ubuntu 17.10) using lxc. Installed browsh. Works very very fine. Same issues as others found:

* Forms not working in Firefox but works fine in the terminal. Google search...

Some more testing:

- use nginx as a proxy for browsh - configure the Firefox instance (install uBlock Orgin, remove history and set other privacy related configurations and hope it works.

Keep up the good work!


Thanks for trying it out. How do you mean forms aren't working in Firefox but work fine in the terminal?

What made you think about using Nginx as a proxy?

You can already install Firefox extensions: https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh/issues/45
