OK. Cool. I still don't have a free Chromebook RDP client, mind.

Right free being key. Okay, will keep looking.

Carnival Boy

It doesn't have to be free. It has to be able to run full screen though.

Is lacking full screen what is wrong with this one?

Yes.

scottalanmiller

Gotcha. Not sure if there is a full screen option. It doesn't do full screen even if you make the browser full screen?

Carnival Boy

The latest version doesn't run in the browser. Older versions did. That seems to be a complaint amongst a lot of long-term users.

Oh, it launches from the browser but runs on its own? Interesting. Didn't even know that it could do that.

Lovely. Chrome is becoming IE with ActiveX

I thought this was the way Chromebooks worked? More than just a browser these days.. don't ask me why I thought that though.

There are a few chrome apps that do this. They appear like full screen apps even though they are just in a browser window.
