Use case for scraping?


Yes, i think so.

Web scraping automations often get stuck on some thing like a captcha or the page has changed and BrowserBox Pro let you attach to that running chrome automation instance, see the actual page that it got stuck on, and inspect that in remote version of dev tools (even from mobile!). This could let you quickly investigate and diagnose the issue and come up with a fix, all live.

In fact, that’s how some of our customers use it.
