Support for Zen browser
Hi!
There's this new browser called "Zen browser"
It's based on Firefox but the 1password extension doesn't work with the desktop app
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: N...
Hello everyone!
Thank you all for the continued feedback! For security reasons, the 1Password desktop app will by default only connect to supported browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc. If you're using a Mac then you can add Zen Browser as an additional browser to the desktop app:
- Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
- Click on 1Password next to the in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Browser.
- Click Add Browser and choose your browser from the Applications folder.
We're not currently adding new supported browsers since that isn't a long-term and sustainable solution. The additional browsers feature is currently only available for the Mac. The team hopes to bring the custom browsers feature to 1Password on other platforms (like Windows) in the future.
For the time being, you may still be able to use 1Password in Zen Browser on your Windows PC but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.-Dave

ModeratorMarking a post as a solution to a thread doesn't mean that the issue/request itself is solved or closed. It's a way to highlight the most up-to-date answer for anyone who stumbles onto the thread in the future.
We won’t be unmarking this post since it provides an accurate and up-to-date explanation of where custom browser support is currently at: the team has released custom browser support for the Mac and hopes to release it for Windows in the future but for now you'll need to unlock 1Password in Zen Browser separately from the desktop app using your account password.
The discussion remains open and we'll continue to collect everyone's feedback going forward. As soon as we have more news to share, we'll update the Accepted Solution. 🙂

It's simply not a solution though. That's why people have been pushing back against your response. People have been asking for the trusted browser feature for Windows for two years now and there was been zero indication to the public that 1Password is even working on it. Why was Arc approved but Zen still isn't? Does Zen need to get VC funding and artificial hype by limiting downloads to invitees only before fizzling out and ending support a year after launch for 1Password to finally add support? This is one of the most active threads in the support forums, people are clearly passionate about wanting 1Password to properly support Zen, I don't understand why 1Password keeps refusing to actually do it.
1P_Dave I would argue that this is not the most up-to-date answer. For starters this answer is directed towards MAC users with a sentence at the end saying you need to unlock it separately. So the "most up-to-date" answer is:
We do not currently support this in windows. The community has been asking for this for a minimum of 2 years and we have done nothing about it other than so vague answers saying "Its in the backlog" or "We need to do it properly".
I'm sorry for getting annoyed, but the same copy paste answers are not going to cut it. This should be prioritised higher than it currently is since this is a feature that is stopping any users using other browsers than 4 on windows without you having to jump through hoops.
