Review summary

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!
