Does webroot protect the Opera Browser? Thanks in advance.
Hi Goober78

 

WSA protects users from online threats irrespective of the browser used, i.e., if visiting a website eneds up in an attempt at a driveby downlaod of a malicious payload then WSA will intercept the payload as it tries to activate.

 

However, the Web Shield, i.e., Identity Protection, etc. will not cover Opera by default or straight out of the box, so to speak. One has to add the browser application/exe under the Shield.

 

To understand how to do that please refer to this section of the online help, an post back if you have any diffculties or questions.

 

Regards, Baldrick

 

 
Thank you Baldrick. I appreciate the info.
@ Even thought Opera is not Officially supported by Webroot but it is Chrome based so you can try to install the Extensions from the Chrome store and see if they will install?

 

Web Filtering Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webroot-filtering-extensi/kjeghcllfecehndceplomkocgfbklffd?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

 

Password Manager: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webroot-password-manager/ngkhgikojglcgnckopipfdajaifmmnnc?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

 

And please let us know if that works. Also do as Baldrick said by adding it to the Identity Shield.

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel ;)

 

 
Good points there, Daniel...thanks for the pick up...I completely forgot about those...;)

Yeppers! If it's Chrome Based or Firefox Based browsers then some of the work around's could work! But again it's all Unofficial!

 

Daniel 😉
Thanks Daniel. All appreciated.

Did you get them installed and is it working? As it could help other users of Opera.
