I've attached the responses from Kaspersky. To summarise: Official browser support includes dedicating resources to testing and maintenance for that specific implementation. They would not elaborate on the scope, but I would assume they look for bugs/vulnerabilites etc. Popularity of a web browser determines whether it is worth dedicating resources to. While the KIS Chrome and Edge extension are the same (and therefore compatible with most other chromium browsers), non-supported browsers are untested. In the worse case, the KIS extension may cause either itself, the web browser or the Kaspersky application to not function correctly. They are currently compiling user feedback for Brave browser. If you want to see Brave supported, I recommend filing a ticket using the support link below. The more feedback they receive, the more likely it will be implemented.

Hello, Thank you for the information. Sure, I can share the outcome of my ticket here.

Hello. Thank you for your welcome. I am aware Brave has never been supported. My question was why? Is there a technical reason? What is the KIS extension doing in Chrome or Edge that it isn't doing with other chromium browsers (Brave for example)? If renaming the .exe is all it takes to allow the extension to work in other chromium browsers, then is this not a superficial problem? What criteria has to be met for official support?

Version of your operating system Windows 10 64 bit Name and version number of the Kaspersky application Kaspersky Plus Explain in details the nature of your problem Only certain chromium browsers are supported to prompt for installation of the browser extension. I have to rename the .exe file for other chromium based browser such as Brave to get the extension to install. From testing on phishing links, the extension works fine on the browser so I find it strange why you only allow for installation with chrome or edge. If a browser supports the installation of chrome extensions then why is the extension not allowed for installation. What is the necessity for witholding your extension for use with chrome or edge?
