i don't think this list is up to date - for example, no Chrome listed, but i read elsewhere that it is supported

Hi, you are right, the Chrome is missing, otherwise the list is complete. I will ask the colleagues concerned to add the Chrome into the FAQ section.

thanks for clarifying. I'd like to put in my vote for Firefox to be added :)

Hi, so I have found out it has been confirmed to add Firefox, we just don't know when exactly it is going to happen.

that's good news - thanks - i'm trying out Norton right now as it's the only AV i've found that supports Firefox

I'm surprised Firefox is not more heavily used on Android - it's the only browser that can be customized sufficiently for security & personal preference

Hi,

just to clarify - it's not confirmed Firefox will be added. It's confirmed that I'll look into it in the near future and will hopefully be added (if it's possible using our current technology).
