In this spirit I've been playing with spun up Firefox instances in a Google Cloud Run. The container is stateless and goes away after I close the page that connects to video stream of the other container in my browser.

- genewitch 5y agoWay back in 2009 I helped design and implement basically "Firefox on AWS EC2" - I had YouTube audio and "video" working, in the subwindow, not Fullscreen. It was roughly 5-10FPS, about what you'd get with VNC, with perfect audio. I had an idea that thin clients were going to be big - and I stupidly pitched ideas for cloud based software to Adobe, Newtek, and Autodesk. Never gunna do that again.
