This is something we're aware of and plan to fix.
Keep in mind the ZoneAlarm extension can't protect the user if they decide to:

  • Open an unsupported browser where the plugin won't run
  • Open an incognito browser (if the extension isn't enabled there)

Since other browsers beside Chrome have been supported in EndPoint for quite some time, is there any plan to support plugins with other browsers in ZoneAlarm?  I do not use Chrome, as I do not like Google spying on me, but I use Firefox intensively.  It would be nice to have a WebSecure plugin for Firefox.

Dale, you can use the ZoneAlarm extension with Edge. Just go to the Chrome store from Edge and install

Yes.
We are planning on adding more browsers in the future.
