Have a Virtual Browser for Nitro, to replace the Games feature

So, in light of recent events that happened with Rabb.it and they're unfortunate demise... and with Games leaving Discord, and their need to entice customers with a nice nifty new feature.
I thought it would be a good idea to include a "Watch" tab to replace the games tab. In it a virtual browser room could be opened, and invite many friends into it easily. There you can have a "remote" feature where the room creator has all control of the browser, and can "give" the remote to anyone in the room, as well as take it back at any point.

It doesn't need to be extremely fancy to start off, or look that good. It mainly needs to function, because People who frequented Rabb.it are now desperate to watch their favorite anime and movies together with their friends from around the world. And by desperate, I really DO mean desperate. It obviously can be decorated with fancier features and crispier looks in time, as long as it functions when debuted.

Even though I already pay for Nitro, and have been for some time... I would gladly (as i'm sure others would as well) would pay even more for this feature, as long as it's good, and it works. I love Discord a lot, I hope you guys listen to my pleas. 90% of my computer time was dedicated to Discord, Youtube, and Rabb.it. Now with Rabb.it gone maybe My other love, Discord, can save us from this deficit.

Lastly, I know about Kast, and I have tried Kast.

It's a glorified screen share app, not a virtual browser.
It barely functions as of right now, I just use Discord's screen share, and that basically does the trick. Even if it lags sometimes.
Kast has heard the many requests of their new users, and have started talk about adding a virtual browser, but my first impressions of Kast has got me feeling they might not do it right. I have the upmost faith in Discord and I know they can conjure something up even BETTER than what Rabb.it had going. Even if they don't we, the community, can whip them into shape, because that's another thing that's great about Discord. They actually listen and implement what their community wants.

Oh my god YES. If this is in any way possible it would fill a huge vacuum that just opened up. And I'm sure you could do some market differentiation with different subscription prices for different video quality, channel caps, etc.

I've known several people who have attempted to recreate rabb.it, and the consensus is that

- legal stuff associated with VMs and virtual browsers are an absolute nightmare

- It's incredibly costly to host

A "give control of your screen" function would be super nice to have, though, and would end up pretty similar to what rabb.it offered
