A previewing process is directed to the generation and management of a remote application session between a client computing device and one or more content providers in conjunction with a network computing provider, for previewing content at the client computing device. In one embodiment, the client computing device may request network content for preview. The network computing provider may obtain the request and instantiate a network-based browsing application corresponding to the preview request. The network computing provider may subsequently obtain the requested network content from the one or more content providers via the network-based browsing application, and may determine a preview configuration. The preview configuration may identify various processing actions, in accordance with which, the network computing provider can perform a first set of processing actions to generate and transmit a preview result to the client computing device. The preview result may include a preview representation of the requested network content. The preview representation can be presented by the client computing device, which may include the client computing device performing a second set of processing actions on the preview representation.
