I love the concept, but there are some serious issues that should be addressed. The primarily being that it installs a Firefox ESR version that is 3 years old and is way behind, with no easy way to update. I ran into a few important extensions that wouldn't work due to this. This needs to have auto/manual updates capability or be maintained by provider. Beyond that, it works ok, but that is such a serious issue that I cannot recommend this. Edited

Once you get the hang of it it does work really well, far better than any of the other apps I tried. My laptop was stolen and I needed devtools on mobile. It is by no means a laptop replacement but I am able, with some effort, to achieve the task I have been trying to do with many other apps. Thank you to the devs. Edited

I am able to use it to ssh into a digital ocean droplet to then ssh into my computer at home from any public WiFi with my phone thanks to this. I can use all of the essential keyboard keys for interacting with tmux and auto completing with zsh. It is awesome. I am still learning how to use it. For instance I haven't figured out how to use my phone's clipboard to copy and paste between different apps yet, but I am sure I will figure that out eventually.

I'm using it for MIT Appinventor. Thanks to FoxBox I have a desktop mouse and keyboard within Firefox which makes it possible to use all the functionality in Appinventor (mouse menu, keyboard) on my Android phone.

Galaxy S23 audio not working. I have permissions enabled in app but websites will not play media. Also, everytime after disconnecting and reconnecting to a session the browser crashes, and asks to reload previous session
