> One thing I always have wished that my reMarkable 2 had was web browser.
It’s crazy how direct Remarkable is about what their devices are and then the number of people who buy them and wish they were something else.

Made for an excellent hack :)

I don't think that's crazy at all. Many of us like to "value-process" stuff and that just adds more fun and function.
To give a simple example I've got smart lights installed throughout my flat and with the tiniest bit of effort I can get them to do a lot more stuff than they were designed for.

Please show me the alternate product that is a full featured tablet with an e-ink screen so I can buy one.

The Supernote, but I wouldn't bother... too gimped to be useful. The built-in apps aren't as good as Remarkable's and tend to fall over when you install third-party apps.
Hardware's slick tho. Real nice kit. Maybe someday the software will be too

I've been eyeing https://daylightcomputer.com/product but it's kinda pricey and I don't want a tablet with a web browser that has an eink screen, I want a digital piece of paper, which the Remarkable is.
10.3", multicolor E Ink® Kaleido™ 3, Android. The only caveat is that it's not available in US directly but ordering from Germany should not be a problem.
Pocketbook was founded in 2007 and it's quite known in Eastern Europe.

It was not good at reading pdfs before. But now it does. And now you could send it me word documents and webpages.
Now I wish it was better at reading pdfs. And could now load kindlebooks.

Remarkable sells hardware reading devices. Web browsers, just like offline PDF and EPUB viewers, are a form of reader software.
There really isn't any mismatch here; why does it seem odd for someone to (want to) be able to address and access their desired reading material—like texts produced by Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks, or dictionary entries like the author mentions—through the wildly successful system for identifying resources with URLs?

I know this is a tad off topic, but the one feature I wish ReMarkable had included is the ability to export your highlights, at least the snap-to-text ones.
Currently I use a third party software, RCU [1], to do this (and it works well!) but one would think ReMarkable could have included this themselves when they added the snap-to-text feature for highlighting!

Is the SSH user:pass hardcoded?

On my ReMarkable Pro, the password is always the same. Even through updates. No clear way to change it.

A factory reset would result in it being regenerated
