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
Hi,
Long time family subscriber here. Actively considering switching away from 1Password for my next subscription cycle as I move my usage to Zen. As a courtesy to long time service provider (1Password) created this community account to leave feedback.
1Password (and password managers in general) are fairly niche service where majority of audince are (at least to some extent) privacy and security oriented. It is true that most of your customers are likely on OSX/Linux or some other forms of Unix-based OS's but life and (more importantly) family drive us to use Windows sometimes. Your audience being privacy and security focused are very likely to stay away from Chromium-based browsers, independent of what your telemetry says, since most of us would have telemetry disabled. Zen has rapidly gained popularity among this audience with exodus from Arc and active development status.
Now to my feedback. To your Product Managers: please try to improve your understanding of your audience and rely less on telemetry data lake, which will be skewed away from privacy-focused crowd. Follow the trends and do research in thematic internet-spheres. To 1P_Blake: I understand you are a community manager and do not own the roadmap but influencing roadmap with community sentiment should be a must. Phrase "It's on the roadmap" means literally nothing if it's not prioritised for upcoming development cycle. As a roadmap owner I can tell you that without strong advocacy it will be forever punted. I would assume yoru customer acquisition trends are very good if your leadership is not worried about retention.
Best of luck, I enjoyed using 1Password while it stayed relevant.

ModeratorWelcome to the community! By default, 1Password directly supports the most popular browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and more. Each supported browser has to go through a vetting and approval process and this process created a situation where many browsers never had the chance to be added due to the work required and the number of browsers requested by the community.
We've invested in building a feature to allow you to add the browser of your choice to 1Password. This allows you to personally control which browser you use and add to 1Password. The feature is currently available for macOS and Linux and we're actively working to build and release it for Windows as well: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app
