Could you elaborate a little on ‘puppeteer in the browser’?

Is puppeteer running on a webserver then the repl connecting to it? Or is puppeteer completely contained within each users browser?

Sure! Puppeteer is a node-based library, and pretty much all the web-apps out there that let you run puppeteer code do it in an elaborate node sandbox. This tool gets around that by running puppeteer in your own browser, making it a lot faster and more secure
It looks like a really cool project. Great job!

I’m curious if it’s possible to proxy the network requests so for example it would use the browsers IP address instead of the server?
