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 folks,
I'm happy to share that you can now add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password for Windows. Follow these steps:
- Install 1Password in Zen Browser from the Firefox Browser Add-ons Store
- Add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app
A couple of notes:- Make sure that Zen Browser is installed system-wide with admin permissions in the C:\Program Files folder.
- Zen Browser is not an officially supported browser and you might run into unexpected issues. If you see those same issues with a supported browser like Firefox then let us know by starting a new discussion and we can investigate.

+1 for the feature implementation on Windows like on MacOS.
Is there a beta branch or something available where we can test this feature? It's really frustrating for a user on both MacOS and Windows to have different workflows on each system.
cheers!

ModeratorThank you for the request, I've shared it with the team. It's not currently possible to add unsupported browsers to 1Password for Windows using either the production or beta version, it's a feature that still has to be built by our development team.

1P_Dave If this is a 'yet to be developed' feature, which it sounds like it is, then 1Password should continue to support the old 'manual' vetting process for browsers until you are able to provide another solution. Currently your Windows-based customers have no solution to this problem.

Welcome to the community! It might help to think about it the other way around, with our direct browser whitelisting process, we couldn’t support all requested browsers (like Zen Browser), which is why we’re building a new way for people to connect whichever browser they want across platforms: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app
We hope to share more news about Windows in the future. I've shared your request with the team.

1P_Dave From what you have shared in this thread, two things are true -
- Manually adding browsers is not a 'long-term sustainable' solution.
- While you intend to add a feature for users to add browsers on their own, this is not a currently in-development feature, just an intended one.
The responsible way to handle that situation from a support standpoint for paying customers is to continue to provide the previous process which is not long-term sustainable but -has- been effective thus far while developing your new feature, then ending the previous process when the new feature is available.
