Browser Extension Installation and Configuration

PixieBrix officially supports the last two major versions of the following browsers:

PixieBrix, by and large, works on any Chromium-based browser. If you have questions or need official support, please contact [email protected].

There are two approaches to distributing the PixieBrix Browser Extension:

Scenario #1: Self-Serve Installation from Chrome Web Store. Team members manually install the browser extension as needed
- If your organization blocks extension by default, add the PixieBrix extension to Chrome's “Allow List” so that each team member can individually install the PixieBrix browser extension. See Browser Extension Installation Policy
- Your team members will follow the instructions at Installing the PixieBrix Chrome Browser Extension
Scenario #2: Automatic Installation. Add PixieBrix to Chrome's list of "Force Install" extensions to have Chrome automatically install the browser extension on team members' browsers.
- Follow instructions at Browser Extension Installation Policy
- Your team members will follow the instructions at Linking Your PixieBrix Account. Or configure SSO to authenticate users via automatically Setting Up SAML/SSO
Scenario #3: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. If you use a VDI, such as Citrix, refer to the Automatic Installation instructions
- Follow instructions at Browser Extension Installation Policy

To ensure your users install the correct extension, we recommend having them install it via https://app.pixiebrix.com or using your browser’s enterprise "Force install" functionality. Manual install instructions are available in the Installing the PixieBrix Chrome Browser Extension docs.

Refer to the Google documentation for how your organization manages access to Chrome Browser Extensions:

To force install PixieBrix in Microsoft Edge, the browser must be managed by the organization
