Hello shaneturner​! 👋

Thank you for the feedback! We hope to build a secure way to use unsupported browsers with the 1Password for Windows desktop app and I've let the team know that you're eager to see this feature be introduced. 

Genuine question. How hard would be be to add Zen and LibreWolf? You already cater to chronium based niche browsers such as Brave and Arc. As getting around the Windows issue seems to be a no-go ( waiting 2+ years ). Why is it so difficult?  Is it more complex than I expect to add a browser?

Each currently supported browser was thoroughly vetted and reviewed by our security team. This process requires a lot of manual work and, as a result, ended up with only a handful of supported browsers leaving every other browser that we couldn't find the time and resources to review out in the cold. We're hoping to bring the ability to use whatever browser you wish, without us having to vet it first, to the 1Password for Windows app in the future.

That's great to hear. Can you share the timeline for this?

I've recently had to switch away from Firefox, and LibreWolf was a good alternative. At first I didn't think I'd mind the degraded integration with 1Password, but after using it for a few days, I'm ready to start looking at alternatives.
