    From the README

    Welcome to Neko, a self-hosted virtual browser that runs in Docker and uses WebRTC technology. Neko is a powerful tool that allows you to run a fully-functional browser in a virtual environment, giving you the ability to access the internet securely and privately from anywhere. With Neko, you can browse the web, run applications, and perform other tasks just as you would on a regular browser, all within a secure and isolated environment. Whether you are a developer looking to test web applications, a privacy-conscious user seeking a secure browsing experience, or simply someone who wants to take advantage of the convenience and flexibility of a virtual browser, Neko is the perfect solution.

    In addition to its security and privacy features, Neko offers the ability for multiple users to access it simultaneously. This makes it an ideal solution for teams or organizations that need to share access to a browser, as well as for individuals who want to use multiple devices to access the same virtual environment. With Neko, you can easily and securely share access to a browser with others, without having to worry about maintaining separate configurations or settings. Whether you need to collaborate on a project, access shared resources, or simply want to share access to a browser with friends or family, Neko makes it easy to do so.
