The 'Browsing Protection by F-Secure' Edge add-on is praised for enhancing security during financial transactions and integrating with security suites. However, multiple users report persistent and annoying prompts to reinstall or configure the add-on, frequent initialization failures, and compatibility issues especially on Windows 11. Additionally, the add-on sometimes blocks legitimate sites, and users highlight poor customer support and lack of clear instructions, which hampers usability for less technical users. Pros
- Works well with Spectrum Security Suite and provides encryption protection when logging into financial sites.
- Effective in providing a sense of security against malware and threats.
- Free to use.
- Functions correctly for some users, providing reliable blocking and protection.
Cons
- Frequent and persistent notifications or pop-ups prompting users to install or configure the add-on despite it already being installed.
- The add-on often fails to initialize or function properly, requiring reinstallation or reconfiguration each time the browser is opened.
- Compatibility issues with Windows 11, especially when using system cleanup tools which disable the protection.
- Blocks legitimate communication to banking or identification sites, sometimes forcing users to disable VPN or other settings.
- Lack of clear customer support or helpful documentation, making troubleshooting difficult for non-technical users.

| 2025-07-05 | Ow***** | | Håller helt med tidigare recensenter. Fanns det en överstruken. enda stjärna så skulle det bli mitt val !! |
| 2025-06-15 | ***** | | I do not believe that this is a free service anymore. This app is no longer working on my Windows 11 machine. I uninstall it and reinstall it but it still doesn't work. From what I have seen, it looks like they are charging $4.99 for this protection now. Not cool. |
| 2025-06-12 | Fr***** | | jeg får hele tiden (dagligt) mange beskeder om, at udvidelsen ikke er aktiv og skal stås til, også selvom den er aktiv. Træls. Blokerer ofte kommunikation til Bank/Mit Id. Jeg må derfor ofte slå VPN fra. Kan det ikke gøres bedre? VPN blokerer helt unødigt! |
| 2025-06-09 | To***** | | irritating pop up every 20 minutes saying i need to install it...its already installed. I cant even remove it |
| 2025-06-03 | Пе***** | | Подтверждаю ошибку, не смотря на то что расширение установлено, в самом антивирусе висит предупреждение о его настройке. Исправьте пожалуйста. |
| 2025-06-02 | Da***** | | werk goed |
| 2025-05-21 | Si***** | | Miksi tätä kehotetta ei saa pois päältä!? Ärsyttävää leikkiä aina konetta käynnistäessä. Onko muilla kokemusta kilpailevista turvaohjelmista? |
| 2025-05-20 | OT***** | | F-secure total pyytää kokoajan päivittämään "Määritä selainlaajennus" vaikka Edge ilmoittaa, että se on jo asennettu. Sitä kehotusta ei saa pois vaikka mitä tekisi. |
| 2025-05-18 | Ja***** | | Monique moi je l'ai en francais |
| 2025-05-18 | Ch***** | | Have to keep installing on Edge! |
