Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Omnissa Horizon Browser Redirection Extension enables the redirection of web pages from Horizon desktops/app. With Browser Redirection, when an end user uses the supported browser in a remote desktop, the website is rendered on the client system instead of the agent system, and it is displayed over the remote browser's viewport. The viewport is the portion of the browser window that displays the content of a web page.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This extension should be installed in Horizon desktops/apps. Contact your IT department for further assistance.

Browser Content Redirection (BCR) for Omnissa Horizon virtual desktop infrastructure — redirects web page rendering from the remote virtual desktop to the local client machine

When users browse the web inside a Horizon VDI session, the remote desktop agent must render web content, consuming server CPU/GPU resources and degrading user experience. This extension offloads web rendering to the client device, improving performance, reducing server load, and enabling rich media (video, WebGL, etc.) to run natively on the client.

1) Extension is installed inside a Horizon virtual desktop/app (not the client machine). 2) Extension connects to the Horizon Agent via native messaging host (com.vmware.html5mmr or com.horizon.html5mmr). 3) Agent provides a WebSocket port number and URL whitelist. 4) When user navigates to a whitelisted URL in the remote browser, the extension intercepts via declarativeNetRequest and redirects to HorizonBrowserRedirect.html. 5) Content script creates a WebSocket to the local Horizon Client (wss://view-localhost) and requests instance creation. 6) The actual web content is rendered on the client machine and composited over the remote browser viewport using a color-key overlay. 7) Navigation events, title updates, and fullscreen requests are synchronized between remote and client.

Target users: End users of Omnissa Horizon virtual desktop environments / IT administrators deploying Horizon VDI infrastructure / Enterprise employees using Horizon-published desktops and applications

Extension source is heavily minified (single-line JS files), making detailed code review challenging but content is fully readable
Cannot verify runtime behavior of native messaging host or Horizon Agent integration without the VDI environment
Store description mentions 'Contact your IT department for further assistance', confirming this is enterprise-managed software

Monetization

No paid features detected

No payment, billing, subscription, licensing, or upgrade mechanisms found in the extension source code. All keyword matches for 'pro' were false positives from CSS properties (progressBarStyle, cubic-bezier, lineProgress) and minified code patterns. The extension is a free technical component for Omnissa Horizon VDI infrastructure. While the broader Omnissa Horizon product requires enterprise licensing, the extension itself contains no paid feature gating.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: No login, authentication, or account mechanisms found in the extension source. The extension communicates with the Omnissa Horizon Agent via native messaging host (com.vmware.html5mmr / com.horizon.html5mmr) and WebSocket to localhost. It operates as a technical bridge within an already-authenticated Horizon VDI session—no user credentials are collected or verified by the extension itself.
