Hello,

Unfortunately there is no extension for the Brave browser. The supported browsers for the extension are Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge.

sorry for the question.

Can you confirm or to explain about installing an extension from the Chrome Web Store in browsers such as Brave, Opera, Vivaldi? That is, let's say, in browsers that support Google Chrome extensions (chromium). At least for the browsing protection context.

I think that somewhere there was "close-to-official" information about such support. Is this no longer relevant?. I'm interested because I don't use the listed browsers (in general, and I don't really want to) and I can't take it and try it.

Of course, this is not some kind of “special / dedicated” extension or addon to the browser; but it's kind of a workaround anyway, an option.

Thanks!

Hello @Ukko

As mentioned in our help guide, the browsers that we officially support for our extensions are Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. These browsers are fully compatible with our extensions, meaning they will work smoothly and provide all the features you expect.

You can install Chrome extensions in other Chromium-based browsers like Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi because they share a similar structure with Chrome. This means they can run many of the same extensions. However, since these browsers are not officially supported, we can't guarantee that everything will work perfectly.

There are some differences in how these browsers handle extensions, which can lead to problems. For example, they might not support all the features our extensions offer or may handle privacy settings differently. This could affect things like browsing protection and real-time alerts.

For the best experience and full support, we recommend using one of the officially supported browsers. If you decide to install our extension in a browser we don’t support, please remember that we may not be able to help if you run into any issues.

If you have more questions or need help with specific features or supported browsers, feel free to reach out. Thank you for being a part of our community.
