Is this a good alternative to AnyDesk?Comments about Chrome Remote Desktop as an Alternative to AnyDesk
I don't like chrome desktop because it has to run on top of chrome, so to me, it isn't the same, because it isn't a standalone program.

Comments about TeamViewer as an Alternative to AnyDesk
Best tool for installing RustDesk on my remote computers remotely. Thanks for all the years and sorry, its not you, its me. I cannot take that licence nagging and subscription payments.
TeamViewer just works. It's great!
Simple to use and does the job well. Great for teams working remotely.
