How it works
browser-repl is built on top of the wd module, which is an
implementation of the webdriver protocol.
Once a browser session is established, socket.io is used to establish a persistent connection that works on all browsers as fast as possible.
The socket.io server is hosted locally, and a reverse tunnel is set up
with localtunnel
which gives your computer a temporary URL of the format
https://{uid}.localtunnel.me.
The lines you enter are subsequently evald.
A global window.onerror hook is also set to capture errors.
Summoning repl with the -n argument disables this.
