Xpra and Per-Window Remoting for Remote Browsers

When AI agents drive persistent Chrome profiles over Playwright MCP, the human supervisor still needs a fast way to watch and take over. Testing Xpra's seamless mode as an alternative to neko's WebRTC stream reveals a 33-megapixel default virtual display, alongside a deeper protocol divide. Unlike VNC and noVNC, which are locked to a single-framebuffer RFB model, Xpra forwards individual windows with detach-and-reattach persistence. It also stacks up differently against Selkies and Waypipe, where Wayland speed trades off against session persistence.
