Chrome Extension Manual Installation (Chrome Browsers)

Cyberhaven supports manual installation of the Chrome extension on individual Chrome browsers when a managed deployment (GPO, Intune, Chrome Browser Cloud Management, etc.) is not available. Installing the extension in other Chromium variants is possible, but it is a customer-managed scenario that falls outside Cyberhaven’s support scope.

note

This article focuses on Chrome. For guidance about loading the extension into other Chromium browsers, review Unsupported browser deployment and limitations.

Prerequisites​

  • Cyberhaven Sensor installed on the endpoint.
  • Access to the Cyberhaven Chrome extension listing on the Chrome Web Store.
  • Sufficient permissions to install browser extensions; managed Chrome instances may block manual installation, requiring assistance from your IT administrator.

Installation​

  1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/Cyberhaven%20security%20extension%20V3/pajkjnmeojmbapicmbpliphjmcekeaac.
  2. Select Add to Chrome and confirm the prompts to complete the installation.
  3. Verify installation by confirming the Cyberhaven extension appears in the extensions list (chrome://extensions); optionally pin it to the toolbar for quick access.
  4. (Optional) Enable private browsing support by opening the extension details page and allowing the extension to run in Incognito/Private windows if your policy permits it.

Unsupported browser deployment and limitations​

  • Installing the extension in non-Chrome Chromium browsers (for example, Brave) is a customer-managed process. Contact Cyberhaven Support to tag the browser as known in the backend configuration before telemetry is reliable.
  • Chromium variants change frequently, so behavior may vary. Retest after browser updates and reinstall the extension if necessary.
  • Customer-managed deployments are responsible for manually managing and distributing future extension updates; consider establishing an internal process to refresh the extension periodically.

For enterprise-managed deployment methods (GPO, Intune, Chrome Browser Cloud Management, and more), see Chrome installation methods.
