Indeed it should provide a better performance; but, if you are up to have a native rdp client into your browser, better use freerdp (or mstsc) directly because you will end up having to open the port 3389 on your firewall and proxies, and most companies won't allow it.
Perhaps an intermediate solution would be to have a websocket proxy (between the browser rdp client and server) and use tcp and udp from there.
