LogMeIn provides a suite of free and commercial applications that let you remotely log onto your PC or Mac from any machine with a web browser. But there are a few drawbacks. While you really can use pretty much any web browser, you'll have better results with Internet Explorer or Firefox because those applications can handle an ActiveX control or plugin. If you're using a different browser, your remote session may look more like a slideshow than a live view of your remote computer.
But the LogMeIn folks are getting to roll out a handful of new features including support for a Flash-based control that should work better with other browsers including Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera.
The new LogMeIn Free will also include the ability to wake some computers (depending on their hardware) from sleep using wake-on-LAN controls. The LogMeIn web site has also been redesigned and you can start using the new layout now by logging into beta.logmein.com.
