    This is useful but it uses precompiled binaries of chromium that run in a lambda. I didn't find the repo for re-creating them from source. Seems like one of those things that doesn't need a pre-compiled binary it needs instructions for how the binary was built so I don't have to trust some third party chromium distribution.

    Does Vercel charge for the compute duration in addition to the number of requests for Next.js apps? I see they charge for Function Duration (https://vercel.com/docs/pricing/serverless-functions#managin...) but I am unsure if Next.js apps are considered as Vercel Functions.

    Nice, is it headless or headful?
