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.

Release 19.6 beta 3 (5.7.868)​

Improvements:

  • Secure Browsing feature has been renamed to Scam Protection
  • Scam Protection view's tools have been replaced with left side navigation list
  • Scam Protection view's descriptive content is shown in new middle container with enabled status
  • Scam Protection's browser extensions now have their own middle content with installed status
  • Device Protection and Scam Protection have new on-boarding introduction page
  • Windows Firewall settings was removed from Device Protection feature view's side navigation making if less cluttered

Bug fixes:

  • Vault scrollbar not visible in dark mode (PBL-12875)
  • Incorrect warning if extension is removed (PBL-13000)
  • Inconsistent status when features disabled (PBL-12902, PBL-13037)
  • Device protection is displayed as enabled when subscription is expired (PBL-13040)
  • Statistics card layout broken (PBL-13038)
  • "Learn more" link on platform EOL warning does not work (PBL-12964)
  • Small card needs accessibility narrator support (PBL-13091)

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 :)
