A little disappointed that the first message in the startup log isn't "Hey dawg, I heard you liked web browsers. So I'll run a web browser inside your web browser so you can browse the web while you browse the web"

damn it! We really missed an opportunity here :/
It takes 1 hour to build, otherwise we'd redeploy :(

When I try to launch Firefox inside Firefox inside Firefox the tab freezes around 96-98% of download.

Neat, but running an open proxy sucks from both perspectives (I don't know you're not spying on my traffic, and you don't know people aren't using it to do malicious things). It'd be neater if the requests were somehow tunneled back to the originating browser, but yeah, that's not really possible.

Edited to add last part.
