Comment : FS Banking Protection and Opera browser

Ericvar

There are so many browsers available on the web that I think it is almost impossible or not feasible to make FS Banking Protection work on all of them. I use Opera, which is a widely used browser. The only bad thing about this browser is that it does not have FS Banking Protection available.

Hello @Ericvar

Welcome to the F-Secure Community. Thank you for your post.

Opera browser is currently not compatible with F-Secure Banking Protection and the Browsing Protection browser extension. Therefore Opera browser is not supported by F-secure. The supported browsers are:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge Chromium
• Safari

For more details, kindly refer to this guide: Banking safely online

Thank you and have a good day.

Well, Opera is not near the top of the used list of web browsers used,but i still recommend you to put your idea(add support to Opera) into "Feature Request" queue

"As of December 2024, the global market share of web browsers is as follows:

• Google Chrome: 68.38%
• Safari: 17.09%
• Microsoft Edge: 4.92%
• Mozilla Firefox: 2.46%
• Samsung Internet: 2.23%
• Opera: 2.01%

These figures are sourced from StatCounter Global Stats."

Hello,

Just as a reference. There is some old feature request regarding Opera Browser:

• https://community.f-secure.com/en/discussion/69997/addons-for-opera

And one for Vivaldi Browser (with mentions of Opera/Brave browsers as well):

• https://community.f-secure.com/en/discussion/124742/please-add-browser-extension-support-for-vivaldi-browser-also-other-chromium-based-browsers

With some notes that in general all such browsers are being considered and may probably be officially supported someday, but it can be taken into account that, unofficially, chromium extensions can sometimes work in them already now (with an unpredictable set of features or reliability).

Thanks.

Thanks for the answers. I already knew this and that is why I also have Firefox with the Banking Protection extension installed for when I have to do my banking procedures. Greetings

Thank you Ukko for your response. I have read Kennyfs request. I remember that sometime years ago the banking protection worked in Opera for a short time. After that, I installed Firefox only for my banking procedures. Greetings.
