# Boba Browser
A modular Node.js backend using Express that can open super lightweight browsers and stream them to clients.
## Features
- Multiple browser engine support using Playwright:
- **playwright**: Firefox Nightly
- **chrome**: Chromium (Headless shell)
- **webkit**: Safari (WebKit)
- **edge**: Edge (Windows ONLY)
- **brave**: Brave (Windows ONLY) (MUST be pre-installed on x64)
- Streams browser screenshots to connected clients using Socket.IO
- Real-time interaction with browser (navigation, clicks, keyboard input)
- Clean separation of project with a modular class-based architecture
## Installation
1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
## Usage
Start the server with your preferred browser engine:
```bash
# Start with Firefox (default)
npm start
# Explicitly specify Firefox
npm run start:playwright
```
Then access the client interface at http://localhost:3000
## Note
This is a demonstration project and would need additional security measures before production use.
