Hey all,

Is there a way of installing f-secure total for Chrome on iPhone. I like the apple products but prefer Chrome for browsing rather than Safari. Anyone got any clue?

Cheers

Ivan

    Hello @yvansyd @vastblue6

    Thank you for your post and message.

    @yvansyd

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand that you would like to have Chrome on your iPhone protected similarly to Safari with the Safe Browsing extension. Currently, this extension can only be installed on Safari. If you prefer not to use Safari, another option is to set Safe Browser as your default browser. For more information, you can refer to this link.

    For Android devices, you can enable the Overlay icon under Scam Protection. Once enabled, the icon will appear on any website you visit and will block access if you accidentally navigate to an unsafe site. You can find more details in this link.

    Thank you, and have a great day.
