Very cool. But what for?

  Blocking ad-blockers

  To make sure users have no agency over your site. The screen is just a bunch of pixels being streamed at you, no extensions, no view source, no agency. The purpose is to use web tech, without having to actually expose your site to the internet for real.

  Could be useful for security isolation - browse any site you want, and if it manages to escape the browser sandbox it still doesn't get your real machine. Also could reduce the resources used locally; browsers with a lot of tabs are a RAM hog.

  Adding to what the other comments say you can also: - whack it on a "Web Desktop"! See an example of it embedded here: https://puter.com/app/cloudtabs-browserbox https://puter.com/app/cloudtabs-browserbox - share the browser with other people (right click the "Browser" link from your signed in portal to copy that link then share it!) for real time collaboration in technical support, education, training, UI development, etc - use it to connect to an automation script / puppeteer robot to have a "human in the loop" intervention for solving a Captcha, or helping diagnose an issue, getting it unstuck - use it to capture replayable action sequences and screencasts for bug replay - use it to access devtools from a mobile device - use it to remotely view PDFs, DOCX, and explore archive formats - and many other creative uses from embedding a <BrowserView> in a webpage. We will provide a real API later, like: <script async src="...."></script> <cloudtabs-browser publishable-key="pk_live_..."></cloudtabs-browser>
