    There may be some concerns about privacy (it uses public relay servers), open source (depends on closed-source Sciter) and how RustDesk disables some built-in security in Linux. See this discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/uurta8/comment/i9hguw6/

    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.
