Why not. I have a crazy idea. How about building an edge service that renders pages on the edge on identical HW and SW and then just stream it to end users. Could be built with Cloudlfare workers and Puppeteer for instance. People are already doing crazy things in automatic tests so I don't think there is a need to shy away because of the need for client side scripts. Or just run a Chromium instance.

There's already some work to that direction with cloudflare workers... but I really differs on why people would look for that; in a bit more convoluted case, for example, it would be destined for browsing nested pages of instagram, facebook, reddit, and so on... so it's bit difficult to that, especially with things that require auth...

much more a coordination problem that an engineering one

My example is simple. This is for tracking and fingerprinting. At the same time. This all may soon fall into the mobile tracking problem. Like in my country. By having a mobile turned off is in itself a tracking point.

Sorry, you are def right; could you expand a bit on how -what you mention- works? How come that by having a mobile turned off is in itself a tracking point?
