This is a browser within a browser on Puter.com desktop, and is free to play around with. The idea is to break the browser out of its artificial limitations at only running within a regular OS or desktop environment. Why cannot you embed a browser on a webpage? This is that idea. The browser runs in an iframe (how ironic). We used to have WebView tag in Chrome Packaged Apps, which was very cool. But that great power went away and the world was a little worse off for it. Well, the age of men has returned to Middle Earth. There’s no sign-up required to try this out. It’s currently a work in progress, and I’ve tried to make it work across multiple different browsers, form factors and privacy settings, including to respect the upcoming phase out of third-party cookies, which is particularly important in an embedded application, such as this. The wonderful creator of the Internet OS web desktop that I’ve put this on has told me that this cloud tabs app is something that people of asked for for a long time and also that it’s now available on the app center of that website. But it’s easiest just to use from this link I think You can also write click the icon and click in an ad to toss borrow desktop to ensure that you can get back to it. ideally, your browser session is preserved, but as this integration is still early stage, there’s no guarantees of reliability, unfortunately! Definitely some things could be improved, but I’ve a.m. to get audio streaming, remote, dev tools, and document viewer for PDFs, etc. working in this integration with puter.com Although some of those will currently open a new tab to display in. The reason I created this cloudtabs browserbox Puter crossover is because I just thought that desktop was so cool and it was calling out to me for a browser experience. Also I always thought it was the natural home for browser should be on a desktop and why can’t we have a desktop on the web that aims to respect privacy and security like puter does, But that also comes with a fully functional privacy respecting and security focused web browser like BB? Now you can! :) You don’t have to sign up to try it out for now but eventually will put a mandatory free trial on this. If you want to you can subscribe right now for six dollars a month or $60 a year at discount. Just go to: https://browse.cloudtabs.net https://browse.cloudtabs.net and sign up for free. If You subscribe today you got four weeks free but later on will move that to two. Dark patterns Still figuring everything out but it should work OK for you off the bat. I’m very interested to know your thoughts. I will do my best to reply over the next few days but am currently pretty busy. If you need more urgent assistance, please write to cris@dosyago.com Just a heads up: the technology this is based on is also available for embedding within your own apps via license. It’s quite flexible and can be customized to many uses. We’re also quite flexible and happy to work with a range of requirements for licensing and so on.

Folks! Just a headsup the Puter.com site is currently appearing a bit broken in that it now: - Puts a signup gate ahead of the CloudTabs app link: https://puter.com/app/cloudtabs-j7c4amfuq8 https://puter.com/app/cloudtabs-j7c4amfuq8 ; and - Does not redirect to the CloudTabs app after signup flow is completed This is troublesome (and troubling!) and hopefully not a sign of impending doom for Puter x CloudTabs crossover. I've reached out to Nariman and am awaiting his comment. It's understandable if they want to own the platform and prevent comprehensive apps like browsers being owned by 3rd-parties to Puter. That is ok, we have contingencies to release on other web Desktop platforms and will do so soon. Hopefully tho the world of Puter returns to creating conditions for success with mutual collaboration with CloudTabs/BrowserBox/Dosyago! :) For now, if you want to hit up CloudTabs reliably head over to https://browse.cloudtabs.net/signupless_session https://browse.cloudtabs.net/signupless_session
