I have a weird problem…

I have a desktop and a laptop. I need to run Chrome (or Firefox or Chromium, I do not care which) on the laptop but send the display to the desktop. Why? Don’t ask… It’ll take too long to explain. :cry:

  • I can do that with X11 forwarding with ssh, but the latency is too horrid to be useable.
  • I can use w3m via ssh or another console browser. However, this is not really practical for what I need to do.
  • Remote desktop, like VNC is overkill. I don’t want a full desktop, just a web browser.

Is there anything like that I can use?
