Show HN: Use Chrome Headless in the Cloud from the Browser (webautomation.guru)

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.
