Very cool. But what for?

Could be useful for security isolation - browse any site you want, and if it manages to escape the browser sandbox it still doesn't get your real machine. Also could reduce the resources used locally; browsers with a lot of tabs are a RAM hog.

Is there an about page I'm missing? Or somewhere to see pricing info, or... anything that's not the actual app? (Regardless, it's cool, and does in fact seem to work pretty well)

The ToS links this: https://dosyago.com/

Click on "CloudTabs Home" from the browser to get taken to the Signup area. Inside there it's a normal basic "SaaS" looking app profile with:

- My Plan (pricing info and subscribe / manage)

- About (including roadmap / impressum)

- Settings (for now just the home page!)

etc

I saw, but that seems to be a different thing? I was assuming that was the actual underlying software, not this service

I'm not fond of having to create an account in order to see information about the product, especially pricing. (Yes, I understand that creating an account doesn't take money, but that doesn't make it a zero-cost action)

That's a fair point. It's just as simple single page (literally) SPA so one 'solution' is to just look at the HTML file.

But I'll post a link to the Stripe pricing table on a separate page for convenience (maybe just remove all the display: none) styles of the other SPA sections on a long scroll 'about everything' page. Good point! Wait a minute for a link...

Adding to what the other comments say you can also:

- whack it on a "Web Desktop"! See an example of it embedded here: https://puter.com/app/cloudtabs-browserbox

- share the browser with other people (right click the "Browser" link from your signed in portal to copy that link then share it!) for real time collaboration in technical support, education, training, UI development, etc

- use it to connect to an automation script / puppeteer robot to have a "human in the loop" intervention for solving a Captcha, or helping diagnose an issue, getting it unstuck

- use it to capture replayable action sequences and screencasts for bug replay

- use it to access devtools from a mobile device

- use it to remotely view PDFs, DOCX, and explore archive formats

- and many other creative uses from embedding a in a webpage.

We will provide a real API later, like:
