## Description

The Citrix Web Extension allows users to launch their workspaces anytime and anywhere securely without the need for .ica files. By detecting your locally installed Workspace app directly from the browser, it enhances security and reliability, preventing failures during virtual desktop and app launches. Key features include app protection with watermarking to deter screen capture, login timeout prompts encouraging offline mode, and troubleshooting logs to assist with any issues. The extension only accesses workspace websites, ensuring privacy and minimal permissions.

Compatible with both on-premises and cloud environments, the extension supports multi-app launches and displays the Workspace app version in use. Its security enhancements eliminate the need to download potentially unsafe files, providing a seamless and protected experience for enterprise users. Note that some features depend on platform support and user entitlements.
