So that’s the mindset you should be in whenever you install an extension. Still - installing extensions is one of the most common ways of reducing the security, privacy, and integrity of your browser. Our current plan is to automatically analyze the most-popular extensions for various sorts of badness, and only show this notice for extensions which haven’t been scanned or where the scan is inconclusive. That doesn’t guarantee that nothing’s amiss, but it’s a good bet.īrave isn’t currently in the process of reviewing all the extensions on the Chrome Web Store. They’re an established security-focused company with a good record. If you know the extension developer, you might reasonably expect that the extension isn’t malicious. We’re trying to walk the fine line between not telling you that you’re about to do something potentially-dangerous, and getting in your way. Hello, we know that this warning is a little extra. We’re not actively reviewing through the backlog of unreviewed extensions. Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
Should I just wait (possibly forever) until Brave reviews this particular extension? Can I safely ignore the warning and proceed anyway? Or should I just give up on the hope of ever using Authy from within my Brave browser? Now that I have seen the warning, I don’t know what to do about it. Click on the blue “Add to Chrome” button on the upper right corner of the page.Īctual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):.In Brave, go to the Chrome Web Store, and find the Authy Extension: URL.Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. Authy is simple & secure two-factor authentication, available as a free mobile or desktop app, from Twilio. I want to know if this review is planned if so, when will it be done and if not, what risks would I be taking if I ignored the warning. When I go to the Chrome Web Store (via my Brave Browser on MacOS), find the Authy Extension, and click on the “Add to Chrome” button, a Brave pop-up warns that this extension has not been reviewed by Brave and may be malicious. The Authy Two-Factor Authentication application is available as a Chrome Extension.
