Instead of BrowserGap
BrowserGap alternatives
BrowserGap streams an interactive remote browser to your device, with page pixels rather than its HTML, CSS, and JavaScript executed locally. Tabs, forms, file transfers, session-data clearing, and visibility into browser automation make it useful for remote browsing and workflows that may need human input. Developers can embed a BrowserView in another web app, and the project supports self-hosting or Docker deployment. Its community edition is free under stated conditions; a managed session costs $3.81, paid once.

The trade-offs include unimplemented or buggy text selection, page zoom, multi-touch, WebGL, and fluid multiple-window support. Binary use requires Google Chrome on Windows, Mac OS, or Linux, and the Docker version has no sound. When comparing alternatives, consider whether you need broader workspace and application access, centrally enforced data controls, disposable sessions, or integration with existing identity and infrastructure systems. Also weigh deployment options, device coverage, the controls available to administrators, and price against the BrowserGap capabilities you rely on.
