Had a similar one at my last role. It was a HTML5 remote desktop thing with websockets, TLS1.2 etc etc. Got a bug report from a user that it didn't work in Safari. We didn't have a Mac in the office to test with, so asked the user for more details.

Is chrome remote's way of streaming desktop images as video better than images + diff. 3. Is there any open source mirror driver kind of thing in linux?

It's pretty awful, but having Linux and Windows apps on the same virtual desktop is quite cool. I don't know how much of that functionality comes from Guacamole or from the Inuvika addons. Inuvika/Guacamole also support plain RDP, but we didn't use this, just the html5 client (browser) If you want to see what open-source can do then look at Guacamole and go from there. Don't think that helps, but...
