+63I agree but Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have to be re-added to the ID Shield every time it updates but Firefox doesn’t and I think it has to do with that Microsoft not allowing things like Webroot to mess with it but not sure about Chrome? I use all 3 Browsers and I use Zoom allot so I add that exe to the ID Shield as well!

It’s a joke. I wonder how many users don't know this!

Maybe they can design a better feature that doesn't require to add anything to the ID Shield so everything is protected…?

I’m assuming this is a Windows only feature? I do not see this on the Mac.

I assume so and it started with the last version's of Prevx 3 with SafeOnline because browsers were not full HTTPS then Joe the Developer of Prevx and then Webroot SecureAnywhere for the first couple of years and the current UI that we see was all Joe's I worked with him closely from the time of Prevx 2006 to 2014 and I think he still on the team on a different role but not sure. So I assume yes Windows only. Read his story. https://joejaroch.com/
