Yes, but your laptop is not liking the software, and now you are running it in a browser too. Unless the service offered by the container is remote control, then it’s not going to be of any help for you. Difference between running a HTML5 game in your browser, or GeForce Now: one runs locally, the other is just a video feed.
Thats not how that docker container is actually set up.
What you describe does exist, but here it is actually running on the server and gets streamed to the users browser.
FreeCad is run inside the container, on the server hardware, the frontend is then accessed via browser. My laptop is not doing any more work than browsing the internet, it's all handled by the server hardware.
