Google Chrome Remote Desktop is an addon for Chrome, and can be installed directly to the browser from the Chrome store. The addon works in a similar way as Teamviewer, but Chrome's implementation has some extra features in its sleeves.

Google's awesome devs have managed to get the Remote Desktop addon to sync real time sound between the two connected computers (only supported on Windows). That means you can either watch a movie or listen to a song collection that's stored on your home computer when you're away, but that of course requires some power in the Internet connection.

This is something Teamviewer can't do. With Chrome Remote Desktop, you can also copy and paste text between the two computers, whereas with Teamviewer, you would need to copy the text on the remote computer and send it to your local computer through the chat, and vice versa.

Google says the Remote Desktop is a great tool for the new Samsung Chromebook. You can connect to your Windows or Mac computer from afar, and then enjoy the simplicity of the Chromebook, all in one.
