Show HN: Use Chrome Headless in the Cloud from the Browser

Some known issues:

- A screenshot of the remote page is not triggered on app load, so you may have tabs open that appear empty. Remedy: click the tab head / click or scroll the blank page to trigger a screenshot.

- Scrolling by mousewheel, and some typing does NOT work in FF. Remedy: Scroll by touch / click on the scrollbar.

- If not tabs are open, using the omnibox / addressbar is not intuitive. Remedy: open a tab (the + sign at top left), then type a URI or search query.

- The headless instance you connect to is cookie-linked, and there's only 15 of them, so you may collide with someone else's session. Remedy: open incognito tabs to connect to different sessions.

Also, invite you to criticise, give feedback and share bugs for this prototype realtime web interface for Chrome headless.

There's an XSS, put this into your address bar

google.com/?<script>alert('e')</script>
