User reviews
Browserpass is praised for its seamless integration, ease of use, and cross-platform compatibility, especially on Linux and Windows. Users appreciate its performance and consider it a viable alternative to popular password managers. However, installation challenges exist on macOS, and there is limited support for newer Ubuntu packaging methods. Some users find the UI overlaps with similar addons like PassFF, raising questions about security differences under the hood.
