Sounds like IT support is being lazy.
There are definitely Remote Desktop clients for Mac, and a quick google suggests that RDweb doesn't do much special outside of provide a .rdp file which the Windows native RD client would use to connect.If you get the Mac app

My GF has just started a new job, and it appears the only way to access IT resources from home is through Chrome on a PC! Apparently, they're using an RDWeb environment where the user logs remotely into their desk PC (which always needs to be on). And she's been told this function can only work on a Windows computer and through Chrome.
Unfortunately, we're a mac only household and haven't installed Bootcamp or anything else on them. Is there a way of getting the PC version of Chrome to run on a mac without boot camp, and ideally for free?
