While it is functional for many use cases, some features may be missing or infeasible to implement. {% endhint %} Most modern device with a supported web browser should function properly. The web client requires a modern web browser that supports WebSockets and HTML5 features. Supported browsers include the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. **OS requirement:** * **Microsoft Windows:** At least Windows 10 or higher. For Windows 7/8 user, you can try [Supermium](https://www.supermium.net/) or other modern browser as an unofficial workaround (if you decide to try it on your own, I'm not responsible for it, as the web client, as stated, were build to run properly on recommended software/hardware). Older Windows version are basically not recommended for security reasons. * **macOS:** At least macOS 10.15 Catalina or higher. macOS 13 Ventura or higher is recommended. Users on older version of macOS/OS X can try Firefox Dynasty or other modern browser fork as an unofficial workaround alternative (again, I'm not responsible for it). As always, older version than requirement are not recommended to use the web client. * **Linux:** It depends on what distro you're using, as long as you're able to install a relatively modern or latest version of your web browser choice, you should be good to go. * **Google ChromeOS/ChromeOS Flex:** Any version from 2023 date should work. Older version are not recommended, as the older version of Chrome browser (such as 2020) were known to not able to connect at all. * **Android:** At least Android 9. Android 12 or higher is recommended. * **iOS/iPadOS:** iOS 17/18 and higher are recommended. * **visionOS:** Apple Vision Pro hardware should be modern enough to use the web client on Safari. Untested. **Hardware requirement:** If your hardware can handle any of the OS requirement above properly, it should work. Network speed are the most important component. **Browser requirement:** * **Google Chrome/Google Chome Canary:** Chrome version 120 and higher are recommended. Older version are not recommended, as the older version of Chrome browser (such as 2020) were known to not able to connect at all. * **Any Chromium-based browser (Brave, NAVER Whale, Vivaldi, Arc,... etc):** Basically same thing as Google Chrome requirement. * **Safari:** If you're on macOS version lower than 13 Ventura, update Safari to the latest version in System Preferences. Most of the time, newer macOS version should be capable of using the web client in Safari. Same thing goes iOS/iPadOS. visionOS should be okay already with Safari requirement. * **Firefox:** Version 122 and higher are recommended. **Our tested device in the lab (use it only as a referrence if you have similar configuration):** * MacBook 12 inch 2017 on macOS High Sierra. Using an unofficial fork of Firefox Dynasty. * MacBook Air M1 on macOS Ventura. Using 2023 build of Chrome. * MacBook Air M3 on macOS Sequoia. Using 2025 build of Safari. * MacBook Pro M5 on macOS Tahoe. Using latest version of Chrome. * iPad Pro M5 on iPadOS 26.3. Using Safari. * iPad Air M1 on iOS 18.6.1. Using Safari. * HP Omnibook X Flip 14 on Windows 11. Using Chrome. * ASUS Zenbook 14 on Windows 11. Using Microsoft Edge. * Galaxy Tab S6 Lite on Android 13. Using Chrome. * Surface Pro 7 on Windows 10. Using 2024 build of Chrome. * RMIT Citrix Workspace VDA on Windows Server 2022. Using Chrome. * OPS PC hardware on Windows Server 2016. Using latest version of Chrome. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://kb.aris.college/english-us/aris-mydesktop-internal-access-only/which-device-can-use-the-web-client.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
