Issue:
Why is the Browsing protection browser extension or add-on still named "Browsing protection by F-Secure" for Elements Endpoint Protection products?
Resolution:
WithSecure products will switch to using the "Browsing Protection by WithSecure" browser extension in early March 2024. You can read more about this change from the Elements Endpoint Protection changelog Community post.
If you are using GPO to force extension usage on user's devices, you can change the extension ID in your GPO settings. In that case the switch to the new extension should be silent. If you aren't using GPO or MDM, for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge the extension will be switched automatically and the user will see a confirmation window: "do you want to enable this extension?". The end-user needs to agree to take the extension in use.
