+====== Browser Usage ======
-- Safari is known not to work, but has also been seen to work. It is an unknown at this point what to expect.
+The browser is second-class to the [[ techstaff:vdesk:client | Client Connection Method ]]. What it lacks it makes up for in convenience. You might find it necessary to use the browser if you are unable to install software. \\
-- Audio NEVER seems to work over the browser.
-- The browser limits the software to basic keystrokes, so some keystrokes such as "alt-tab" do not always have the intended effect.
-- Advanced features such as file sharing (drag & drop) and clipboard sharing do work, but with mixed results depending on specifics.
-On the plus side, the browser is a quick as the client and is convenient and familiar.
