Curious, is the 80Mbps shared among all browser instances? https://imgur.com/a/gEIN2Ih


Thank you for the cool screenshot! No. Also, the way that network ingress is allocated here is not something I'm tweaking now. The total ingress on this service is a lot bigger.

Can I ask how you feel the connection speed is? Laggy, fast or what's your impression? Also, is it too rude of me to ask what approximate location you are in?

This service is located in the US.


Not OP, but here's my impression:

Loaded up google.com, got hit with a captcaha. Ok, shared IP, fair enough. However the low resolution made solving the captcha more of a pain than usual. Also, the recaptcha fade-out thing took significantly longer than normal, like 20-30 seconds waiting watching the fade out animation.

It also "feels" laggy, but mostly because on hover doesn't work because it's an image and not HTML being rendered in my browser. Page loading is decent, it's definitely noticeably slower than loading a normal page for me but within what I'd expect for a web proxy.

Not being able to double/triple click on text boxes or drag to select text was kinda annoying. Suggestion: maybe add the ability for the browser to have some popular extensions activated, like uBlock Origin?

Browser: Latest FF (70) / Location: Southern US


That's some great feedback, I really appreciate your time doing that!

I've also found that the captcha is harder with the high image compression.

A tip to avoid the 20 to 30 second fading out, is continuing to move the mouse or tap the screen. This is because, normally, an increasing delay (exponential back-off) is used to fetch the next frame in the absence of user events. User events reset that and fetch the current frame immediately.

It seems like the lack of selection is annoying. And it looks as if this also breaks common editing interaction affordances in some annoying ways. Including and not limited to double and triple clicking text controls.

Ad blocks are included. And they do not succeed in blocking everything. I've hesitated to add ublock origin because of some well-publicized issues with regards to their relationship with the changing API.

Thank you for the compliment about decent page loading.

Looks exciting!

What are the things I should look out (and around) for when I'm reading this (for example, specs that have changed drastically since this book was written, etc.)?


The online version is kept up to date. Ilya keeps a good eye on the Github Issue Queue here https://github.com/igrigorik/hpbn.co/issues.

I fail to see the difference between this and deep linking within the app.
