What is Browser Redirection Extension?

'Browser Redirection Extension' is a dynamic Chrome extension that aids in safely redirecting webpages within Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sessions. It introduces two efficient features: 'Browser Content Redirection' that offloads the rendering of webpages to Citrix Workspace App to save server resources, and 'Bidirectional URL Redirection', that enables flow of online content between the virtual desktop and local client device. With continued updates and versions, the extension provides improved security, performance and compliance to changing web standards.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension allows redirection of webpages in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sessions. The extension enables two features, namely, Browser Content Redirection and Bidirectional URL Redirection.

BROWSER CONTENT REDIRECTION: Redirects Webpages from a browser running on the virtual desktop to the Citrix Workspace App embedded browser running on the client device. Browser Content Redirection prevents the execution/rendering of whitelisted web pages in the virtual desktop, creating a corresponding browser instantiated by Citrix Workspace app that will be responsible for rendering the URL locally on the user’s device.

System Requirements: Browser Content Redirection for Chrome requires Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 1808 or higher and Citrix Workspace app for Windows 1809 or higher, and Citrix Receiver for Linux 13.9 or higher. This extension should be installed in the supported browsers running in the virtual desktop, and no installation is required on user’s client device. For further assistance, contact your IT Help Desk.

Godsend application, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Paired with CVADS 2311 on Windows 10, IGEL Linux thin client, able to stream 4k Youtube videos at 60 fps. Unbelievable!!!!!

It has no real purpose. Also, it doesn not allow to mantain the zoom of a page because the extension inmediatly return it to 100%.
