Firefox Cloud Browser

Github GitHub Repo stars GitHub Repo forks GitHub Repo watchers GitHub Repo commits

Ever since I found out about Gitpod, I was amazed that you could run a cloud ide on a school chromebook. Since it was running in the cloud, it also meant that I could access blocked websites with curl and other CLI tools. After seeing :fontawesome-brands-github: 3kh0/DesktopOnCodespaces (its been disabled for policy violation), I found it was possible to run a whole desktop on Codespaces and Gitpod. I looked into this and found it was using KasmVNC. After a bit of code, I found it was possible to run a simple firefox browser.

Simply open the repo in gitpod. After it has finished loading you should get a port forwarding popup. Click open in browser and enjoy your unblocked browser!
