    Teamviewer became bloated and limited - with a requirement to sign in and time-limit on sessions. Also, it became very annoying when simply trying to create a simple session!

    AnyDesk has a free plan and paid plan. It is a good system, but they keep clawing back features from the free plan.

    While it is a bit different it works well and gets the job done. I prefer native programs, but it is a good system working with your web browser.

    HopToDesk feels and looks like a fork of RustDesk with stylish top panel, but without some features. I found nothing better than RustDesk already offers.
