Does Elements Browsing Protection protect against malicious browser extensions?

Issue:

Does Elements Endpoint Protection Browsing Protection feature protect against malicious or harmful Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox browser extensions / add-ons? Can it block the user from installing harmful or suspicious extensions?  

Resolution:

Elements Endpoint Protection's Browsing Protection feature is not able to interact with other browser extensions, so it cannot block them from being installed or activated in a browser. Elements Endpoint Protection does not have this particular feature to protect against malicious browser extension exactly by default. 

If a browser extension's files are rated as malicious, Potentially Unwanted Application or Spyware, then real-time scanning can block or quarantine the extension's files. 

For managing browser extensions in your organization, we recommend to use the built-in enterprise tools in the browser.
