can you explain how this is architected? you are running a browser on a server and its streaming the video to the canvas? where does the cloudflare bit come in?

very interesting project!




You’ve got it: the core service listens for inbound Upgrade http requests, starts a browser, then funnels the connection into the browser.

This debugger simply sits on top of all that, and puts the code/execution context in the browser versus the server. Cloud flare is simply detecting that our server IP is a known headless chrome instance, and is serving their bot detection check


Thanks for your answer! do you do anything to lower the latency between the user and the client?
