Issue:
After installation of the new Browsing Protection by WithSecure browser add-on / extension, how to make sure that the old Browsing Protection by F-Secure extension is removed from the browsers, so that it doesn't create a pop-up notification for the user to enable the extension?

In case InTune has been used to force install and enable browser extension
If you are using Intune to configure extensions, you need to remove the Browsing Protection by F-Secure extension from the policies, which should be the reverse to how you added them.
- Allow specific extensions to be installed – By default, all extensions are allowed. However, if you block all extensions by setting the ‘ExtensionInstallBlockList’ policy to “*” users can only install extensions defined in this policy.
- Control which extensions cannot be installed – List specific extensions that users are unable to install in Microsoft Edge. When you deploy this policy, any extensions on this list that were previously installed are disabled, and the user is unable to enable them.
- If you remove an item from the list of blocked extensions, that extension is automatically re-enabled anywhere it was previously installed. Use “*” to block all extensions that aren’t explicitly listed in the allow list. If you don’t configure this policy, users can install any extension in Microsoft Edge.
