If you’re using Chrome as your everyday browser (if you’re not switch already!), the new extension Chrome Remote Desktop comes in very handy. Using the extension, you generate a one time code to give to who ever needs to see your screen. They enter the code and through the Googley magic, they have access to your desktop. Sure, there are other remote desktop products out there, but none that I’m aware of that work so smoothly with Macs, PCs and even Chromebooks.
While it’s still in beta, it’s another example of how the Chrome team is walking the line between features and minimalist simplicity.

It has great interface and big plus it that you can use it cross platforms. But I can see several cons at the moment:
- it’s only in Beta version so can’t use it professionally
- 19mb file to download (they are lots of web-based remote desktop tools)
- works only in Google Chrome browser
I prefer to stay with my current Techinline tool. Browser-based, easy in use it’s a perfect combination of price and reliability.
