Opera Mini used to work similarly to this app back in 2005ish. There was even a version for the iPhone in 2010.

Oh perhaps I am mistaken then! That would be cool.

Puffin Browser did this, web pages were rendered in the cloud, but I dont think it was a video stream.

I used it as a kid to play Farmville (Adobe Flash based) on my iPad.

I’m almost sure they streamed the Flash player, not the whole page. There was no other way to render flash without streaming a video.

Nah I'm good - I pay to keep those simple. My more complex workflow needs can stay on my desktop / laptop.

Was mainly thinking of ipad. I use that in a laptop like way.
