This is magical and cool.

As a web dev generalist, I can usually understand how most things work under the hood.

But playing with chrome.browserless.io breaks that. You're streaming the web page in a <canvas> element, but how can I highlight text? When I load a youtube video page are you literally proxying the video through your infra, through <canvas> pixels to my browser?

Who dictates what IP the headless chrome is assigned to? Do you have a lot of IPs? I noticed on some pages I'd get the CloudFlare captcha which makes sense if browserless has to cycle through a limited set of IPs where other people have been using it to scrape another cloudflare page.
