Web browser extensions
You must install the VMware Horizon URL Content Redirection extension to use most supported browsers with URL Content Redirection. You do not need to install an extension for Internet Explorer. For installation instructions, see Installing Browser Extensions for URL Content Redirection.
Note: You must install the browser extensions before you enable URL Content Redirection in Horizon Agent or Horizon Client. If you do not, the JSON file does not load and URL Content Redirection does not work.

If you change a URL Content Redirection rule, the extension might remember the previous data cache. You must refresh the extension, either by restarting the browser or closing and reopening the extension, so that the new rule can take effect immediately.

Windows clients
Install Horizon Client for Windows.
To use client-to-agent redirection, you must enable the URL Content Redirection feature during Horizon Client for Windows installation. See Installing Horizon Client for Windows with the URL Content Redirection Feature Enabled. You do not need to enable the URL Content Redirection feature in Horizon Client for Windows to use agent-to-client redirection.
