Support for Zen browser
Hi!
There's this new browser called "Zen browser"
It's based on Firefox but the 1password extension doesn't work with the desktop app
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: N...
Hello everyone!
Thank you all for the continued feedback! For security reasons, the 1Password desktop app will by default only connect to supported browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc. If you're using a Mac then you can add Zen Browser as an additional browser to the desktop app:
- Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
- Click on 1Password next to the in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Browser.
- Click Add Browser and choose your browser from the Applications folder.
Adding additional browsers is currently only available for the Mac and Linux. We're not regularly adding new supported browsers individually since that isn't a long-term and sustainable solution however I've shared your requests to support Zen Browser with our product team. We hope to bring the custom browsers feature to 1Password on other platforms (like Windows) in the future.
For the time being, you may still be able to use 1Password in Zen Browser on your Windows PC but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.-Dave
1P_Blakewhat is the current status on supporting Zen on Windows or Linux? And please don't tell us that you are "working on it", but a specific status and an estimated timeline.

Hey faser -- the current status remains unchanged.
The team still plans to bring the custom browser feature to Windows, but we don’t have a specific timeline to share. I know that’s not the answer you’re hoping for, but it’s the most accurate update available right now.As soon as there’s news to share, we’ll post an update here.
If you have no timeline then you absolutely need to change your policy of not approving individual browsers anymore until custom browsers are supported on Windows and Linux. Telling people that they can use a feature that only exists on one of the many platforms you ship clients for is simply not a solution.

bitteOrca We’ve been pretty clear throughout this thread that manually approving individual browsers isn’t a direction the team is continuing to support, even as a stopgap.
The long-term solution is the custom browser feature, which is already available on Mac and is being worked on for additional platforms.
