Hi David,

We recommend Chrome and Firefox in that order for all OS. Chrome is
preferred over FF because it's still a lot quicker.

Safari also works. With IE we have lots of problems, which we have not
been able to solve, even putting a considerable effort into it.

I take with GUI overlay you mean that apps are shown in tabs.

For me that is not slower then idots and changing between tabs is
considerable faster, if they are already loaded.

I still think there's something wrong in your installation!

The quickest way to deal with that is, you invest in 2h support and show
the issue via screen sharing to our support.
