Install RemoDroid app in an Android device. Allows remote viewing of screen and limited control, similar to VNC. Works fine with Firefox. Tried with Epiphany, Surf-2 and MiniBrowser. Device ("Sender") is not found.

Using latest Xubuntu 17.10 with WebKit and browsers from the repository.

So... WebKit is not magic. How is it supposed to work? I've never heard of any remote control protocol for browsers (well, there's WebDriver, but this doesn't sound like that).

RemoDroid is an android app that acts as a web server to share the screen and provide limited remote control.
