The 19.6 beta has been out for awhile, but I just thought I'd bring it to this forums attention :)

I'm not really sure I like the idea of taking the quick link to Windows Firewall out of the Device protection window. It is kind of handy to have it there.

FS Protection PC releases

We are trying something new.

Thanks for your feedback on the removal of the quick link to Windows Firewall in the Device Protection window. It's important to hear user perspectives on changes like these. The aim was to make the interface less cluttered, but we understand that some users may find this feature useful. Your input will be considered in future updates.

I just wish that they would change the Secure browsing such that it can be used in any chrome based browser. Now it is only Google Chrome, and not for instance Brave. It is a small wish, but still. :)


EDIT: Never mind, I found out how to use the Secure Browsing Extension in Brave. :whistle:

Yep, it works and protects in Brave by going to the Chrome store and installing it from there. It just doesn't show the search result icons when using Brave search. Google search in Brave they will show up. I know you have it figured out, but just in case it can be helpful for others who read this thread/posts :)

Well, next to the link for going to the Chrome store there is an option to copy the link. Just copy it and then open it in your Chrome browser. :)

Or go here. :D

Yes, exactly :) :) That's what I would do, install the extension in Chrome first, copy that link and paste it into Brave browser, and install it from there :)
