Remote Browser
Access a full-featured web browser running on remote cloud infrastructure. Stream real Chrome, Firefox, and more directly to your screen — from any location, any device.
Launch Remote BrowserWhat Is a Remote Browser?
A remote browser (also called a virtual browser or cloud browser) runs entirely on a remote server. The browser's visual output is streamed to your device in real-time via WebSocket, and your mouse clicks and keyboard input are sent back to control it. The web content never touches your local machine — all rendering, JavaScript execution, and network requests happen on the remote server.
This architecture provides several powerful advantages: complete isolation from malware and tracking, access to browsers and configurations not available locally, consistent testing environments that don't depend on your machine's setup, and the ability to browse from a different geographic location or IP address.

Remote Browser Use Cases
Web Development & QA
Test websites across different browsers and configurations without maintaining local browser farms or VMs.
Cybersecurity & OSINT
Investigate malicious websites and suspicious URLs in a completely isolated environment that can't harm your system.
Remote Work & BYOD
Access a consistent, secure browsing environment from any device — personal laptop, shared computer, or mobile.
Privacy & Anonymity
Browse from a clean, anonymous browser instance with no history, cookies, or fingerprinting data tied to your identity.
How MyBrowser's Remote Browser Works
When you start a session, MyBrowser spins up a Docker container with your chosen browser on our cloud infrastructure. The browser runs inside a virtual display (Xvfb), and a VNC server captures the screen output. This is streamed to your browser via WebSocket using the noVNC protocol, giving you a smooth, interactive experience with low latency. When you close the session, the container is destroyed and all data is permanently deleted.

Yes. Each remote browser session runs in an isolated Docker container with no access to your local files or network. All connections use encrypted WebSocket (WSS). When the session ends, the container is permanently destroyed along with all browsing data, cookies, and history.
Latency depends on your distance from the server and internet connection speed. Typical latency is 30-100ms, which is fast enough for smooth browsing, clicking, and typing. The noVNC protocol is optimized for low-latency interaction over WebSocket connections.
Yes. Remote browsers are excellent for anonymous browsing because websites see the server's IP address instead of yours. Combined with a fresh browser instance (no cookies, no history, no fingerprinting data), it provides strong anonymity for each session.
A VPN routes your traffic through a different server but websites still run on your device. A remote browser runs the entire browser on a remote server — web content never reaches your machine. This provides stronger isolation against malware, browser fingerprinting, and local data leakage.
