| The authentic Web recipe experience!

| I love Guacamole (the food too). I use the software pretty much

| are 1) it doesn't auto focus login/password fields, and 2) if the
| engine can't keep up with what's displaying on the remote screen,
| like if a video autoplays, it introduces an enormous amount of
| input lag, or even drops input events altogether. It makes
| getting out of that situation rather difficult.
