#Chrome remote desktop for mac os install#
You get a warning the first time you set the extension up that you should really install Chrome, but you just ignore that and go about your merry way. Presumably the same applies to other Chromium-based browsers such as Opera and Brave, too.įor the most stream crossing I could manage in one go I tried it out in Microsoft Edge for Linux running on Chrome OS and the experience was identical to running inside Google Chrome. Now that the new Edge is based on Chromium you can simply go to the Chrome Web Store and install the extension to Edge instead. Built-in IT support modeĭon't like the idea of using Google Chrome? That's fine, use Microsoft Edge instead. That's not really an early 2021 friendly feature, but when the world returns to normal and working from coffee shops again is allowed, it's a really compelling feature to have on my LTE Surface Go 2. The icing on the cake is that you can access your remote machines without being on the same network, too.
I wouldn't fancy gaming this way, there are certainly better options for that, but I've been able to work for hours from my Surface Go 2 in the kitchen as if I were sat in front of my desktop rig in the office. Scrolling is fast and smooth and there's no real sign of latency. Keyboard shortcuts can work just fine, you can upload and download files with ease and performance is excellent. It's also really simple to interact with the other machine as if it were just the one in front of you. This is particularly useful if you have a high-resolution display attached at the other end and can make everything easier to look at on a smaller display.Ĭhrome Remote Desktop is ridiculously easy to use.

To make it easy to live with on different machines, you have control over not only whether you operate full screen or not, but you're also able to adjust the remote PCs screen resolution to match what's available in the window you're working with. But for my needs, this covers every base I could possibly want. Especially considering the extension, at least, hasn't been updated in quite a while. I tried Chrome Remote Desktop many years ago and forgot about it, but coming back with actual purpose I'm surprised at how feature-packed it is.
