## What it is
A Home Assistant custom integration that turns any browser (e.g., a wall-mounted tablet) into a controllable entity and media player. It allows Home Assistant automations to control browser behavior such as playing media, showing camera feeds, navigating dashboards, and customizing UI dialogs.

## Use cases
- show a camera feed on a wall tablet when the doorbell rings
- play music and videos from Home Assistant media library in a browser
- use a tablet browser as an extra security camera
- hide the sidebar and lock a dashboard for kids
- replace the more-info dialog with a custom card
- register browsers as controllable entities in Home Assistant

## When to choose
- you run Home Assistant and want to control browser-based displays from automations
- you want a wall-mounted tablet to act as a Home Assistant media player or camera viewer
- you need to customize Home Assistant UI behavior per browser

## When to avoid
- you don't use Home Assistant
- you need a standalone media player outside the Home Assistant ecosystem
- you want a fully supported first-party integration rather than a community custom component
