I am having issues with it working on MAC M1. It picks up the reader however, it keeps saying not a "This is not a payShieldManager smart card." It however works great on Windows

First I cannot install it on Edge, since it is "out of store" app, then "You are seeing this page because at least one of the components that constitute the Thales e-Security Smart Card Bridge for Chrome is not installed or is not functioning correctly." ... :(
