I wonder if something like this could be used to continue support for internet explorer where you really have to

People approached me about using it to continue support for flash. But that didn't go anywhere and I think they found other solutions mainly because I was running in headless and I also didn't like the idea of having to lock in the browser version because of the security risks that entails. But I think if you're willing to do that and build some sort of robotic process automation for Internet explorer yeah for sure...but it would be a totally different thing to the code base than I have.

probably a way to do it would be just with a remote desktop that you could sort of create to have the same you know isolation and clean slate security properties that remote browsing you know also has.
