Yes, that's correct, thank you for helping explain things! :)

What I used to do was launch a browser in an Xvnc or RDP session in a VM somewhere. Then do all my browsing from there. Later, I worked somewhere where RDP was blocked so I started using Guacamole (RDP/VNC over websocket).

What this author is providing is a similar and all-in-one npm solution for the above. Also has use-cases outside of secure runtime environments...

Thank you for your explanations here, you really get this category! I'm sorry but do you mind if I ask what's your background?

I'd like to ask for your advice, I'm at cris@dosycorp.com .... Would you be uninterested in discussing over email?

Hey Cris! I saw your email in another thread and I was gonna reach out but for different reasons! My background is software dev with an emphasis on systems infrastructure and release management. I’ve worked enterprise and startups and my niche right now is M&A transitions. Look out for my email later today!

Thanks, I'll be looking out for it!

You might need to reach out at cris@dosyago.com I think the G Suite email (dosycorp) is dropping mails.

Perhaps I'm off target, but how would this compare to guacamole? We've looked at guacamole as a potential solution to our problem. We need our user to log into a third party system with their username) password. Then we want to take over and drive the session selenium-style.

Sounds like you want someone to log in to a remote system then take over and drive it selenium style. Is that right?

Well, I'm hearing you right, then this (BG) is definitely a potential solution for your problem. I think it would be lighter weight than Guac since it only runs a browser (not a whole desktop).

My email is cris@dosycorp.com ... Would you be unwilling to talk more?
