Add 1Password extension for Opera & Sidekick browsers

in 1Password in the Browser

I wish to add my voice to the many requesting native browser extensions for Opera & Sidekick.

I've added Opera & Sidekick as trusted browsers using 1Password Support's process described here.

I can open Opera & Sidekick from the Chromium Extensions in the toolbar. However, it does not open the Desktop 1Password. The same is true if I open Desktop 1Password first and then go to Opera or Sidekick.

Apple Watch does not work with either, nor does TouchID. I have to type in my password, which for me raises a security concern.

I don't understand why 1Password provides a native chromium extension in Brave and not Opera or Sidekick, both of which have 3rd party integration and tab features that are superior to Brave.

I would also appreciate if 1Password would state why they don't support these browsers.
Technical issues?
Legal questions?
I suspect the latter and if that is the case I respect that, but would like to know.

1Password user since 2009.

    Hello @alexanderbuck! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out. The team used to have to extensively vet different browsers and add support manually but this process has now been deprecated in favour of allowing users to choose their own browsers. You can add a custom trusted browser to 1Password for Mac by following these steps:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
    2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click Browser.
    5. Click Add Browser and follow the prompts to add your chosen browser.

    Let me know if that doesn't work.
