Make the SecureAnywhere Toolbar compatible with Google Chrome

Status: Implemented
by Frequent Voice on ‎02-02-2012 05:15 PM

I LOVE Webroot SecureAnywhere and the great toolbar, BUT I also favor using Google Chrome as my internet browser of choice. When will the toolbar be made compatible with Google Chrome so that I can have the best of both worlds?

Status: Implemented
We now have a toolbar for Chrome! It will propagate out to IS+ and Complete customers automatically. If you want to speed up the process by which you get the toolbar, you can uninstall and reinstall WSA, following that up by rebooting your computer. Many thanks to everyone who pushed for this feature!

Evening all. New member and fortunately you're already talking about a problem that I'm encountering. I believe this particular problem should be more then being "under consideration". I like using Chrome and by doing so I can't use the full functionality of Webroot. In fact I've got more functionality with Webroot on my mobile then my lap top. Enjoying using Webroot but this problem is taking the shine off.

Hi Jay62,

 

I am sorry to hear that.  I too love using Chrome and I will be happy when this functionality is available for my favorite browser. 

 

While this is still "under construction," may I recommend checking out this feature which can allow you to use some of the password management functions in Google Chrome.

Hello Sophia. Tried that. In fact I sent into support an error message that appeared when I attempted to use them on the toolbar. Regards Jay62

Hello everyone,

 

Just wanted to give you a quick status update on this great idea: we're currently working behind the scenes with the product development team to not only raise awareness of your request, but also to see if we can get the feature on queue for a future release. 

 

We're listening to your ideas (we read every single one) - so if you haven't already, please keep the Kudos coming to support the ideas you like, including this one!

 

Thanks DannyK for the original submission.

 

Cheers!

Although I don't use Google Chrome, I support the idea of a toolbar in that browser for those who wish to use the Password Management feature in WSA Complete. Chrome, Firefox & IE are considered to be the top 3 browsers and so this functionality should be extended, if possible, to all three, not just Firefox.

 

I appreciate it may be more difficult to implement this from a technical point of view and might take longer to achieve than one expects. The use of bookmarklets is a good workaround in the meantime.

 

Some users may use and are using LastPass for Chrome, which WSA's password management is based on, instead as an alternative method until such time full implementation within WSA Complete becomes possible.

I agree and support this idea.

 

I currently use Roboform - which is on the same principle but you have to buy it...

I could really use this toolbar - too bad i can't get use to firefox or explorer.

New customer here.. I am on the same page with all the other folks. I too have Explorer and Firefox, but I prefer to use Google Chrome. It would be awesome to see webroot compatible with Chrome, but if not it won't be a let down or anything. You guys have done an amazing job on this amazing product!

 

Also, major thanks to you for being a company who actually lisens to their customers.
