The browser version is pretty great, what don't you like about it? I find the desktop version has more potential issues, and doubly so if you're going to try to emulate it.
You can use Construct 3 in the browser made for your system just fine, or you can try to run it in a browser that wasn't made for your system (desktop version is just a standalone version of the chrome browser that only opens Construct and can't be used to browse...)
The only thing I used the desktop version for was to preview projects that needed read/write capability directly to disk (for something that wasn't a game).
