Mighty: Chromium als Stream
„Mighty wants to ‘make Chrome faster’ by streaming a browser from the cloud, starting on macOS – With the underlying concept popularized by Stadia and other game services, Mighty wants to stream an entire Chromium browser from the cloud. The effort emerged this week after two years of development with a tagline of ‚Make Chrome Faster.‘ … Over the last two years, Mighty designed a custom server to ‚keep costs low,‘ built a low-latency networking protocol, and forked Chromium to ‚integrate directly with various low-level render/encoder pipelines.‘ The browser also ‚interoperates‘ with macOS features and all demos today are on Apple devices. The baseline internet speed mentioned on the launch post today is 100Mbps. For comparison, Stadia in 4K requires 35Mbps or greater. … You install a thin client on macOS that locally uses ’10x less memory than Google Chrome‘ – specifically no more than 500MB of RAM – because you’re just streaming and interacting with a video window.“
