Review Summary
ClickOnce for Google Chrome allows users to run ClickOnce applications that browsers do not natively support, especially useful for enterprise software and Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps. However, users report issues such as failures when a required helper app is missing, problems after Chrome updates, reliance on outdated .NET Framework 3.5, and poor support on Linux. The extension often breaks silently without helpful messages, leading to confusion. Despite these drawbacks, many users find it effective for enabling ClickOnce app launches within Chrome and compatible browsers.
Pros
- Enables running ClickOnce applications in Chrome, which otherwise do not work by default.
- Works well with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations ClickOnce applications.
- Useful for accessing enterprise or work-from-home (.NET) software that requires ClickOnce support.
- Some users find it works smoothly in Chrome and compatible browsers like Microsoft Edge.
- Helps overcome legacy Internet Explorer security issues for ClickOnce applications.
Cons
- Extension breaks or fails silently if the required native messaging helper application is not installed, causing confusion.
- Extension is impacted by Chrome updates and manifest version changes, leading to intermittent breakage or incompatibility.
- Requires .NET Framework 3.5, which is outdated and problematic for some users or corporate security policies; some users request updates to newer .NET versions.
- The extension may not work correctly on non-Windows platforms like Linux, sometimes downloading unusable .exe files instead of supporting those systems.
- Lack of clear messaging or prompts when the extension fails to work or when necessary components are missing leads to user frustration and support issues.
