Request for Zen Browser communication to app Support in 1Password (linux)
The 1Password browser extension cannot connect to the 1Password desktop application when using Zen Browser, despite native messaging being correctly configured. This results in fingerprint and other quality of life not working on Zen.
The connection fails because 1Password's BrowserSupport binary rejects Zen as an "UnknownBrowser".
- OS: Linux (Arch-based)
- 1Password: Version 8.x (Linux desktop app)
- Zen Browser: Version 1.16.3b (Firefox-based, using Gecko 143.0.4)
- Extension ID: `{d634138d-c276-4fc8-924b-40a0ea21d284}` (1Password extension version 8.11.12.27)
1. : The native messaging host configuration (`com.1password.1password.json`) is correctly placed in all standard locations:
- `~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/`
- `/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/`
- `~/.zen/native-messaging-hosts/`
2. When the 1Password extension in Zen attempts to connect, the BrowserSupport binary IS successfully invoked with the correct parameters.
3. **Failure Point**: The BrowserSupport binary immediately returns:
```json
{"type":"Notification","content":{"type":"BrowserVerificationFailed","content":"UnknownBrowser"}}
```
Exit code: 1
4. The BrowserSupport binary appears to have a whitelist of supported browsers and doesn't recognize Zen Browser's identity, despite Zen being a Firefox-based browser.
Please consider adding Zen Browser to the list of supported browsers in 1Password's BrowserSupport binary. The browser's application identifier is:
- **Name**: Zen
- **RemotingName**: zen
- **Application ID**: `{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}`
If you need any additional technical details or testing assistance for Zen Browser support, I'd be happy to help provide that information.
NB! Fingerprint works fine on Firefox on the same machine. Just not on Zen, because apparently "unknown browser" on your side. Also I am not sure, but its possible same issue occurs on MacOS(too lazy to test)
