Web browser plugin for HTTPS web filtering

Web browser plugin for HTTPS web filtering

The EMS administrator can enable a web browser plugin for HTTPS web filtering on the endpoint. This improves detection and enforcement of Web Filter rules on HTTPS sites. After FortiClient receives the update from EMS that enables the plugin, the browser installs the plugin extension automatically. When FortiClient telemetry disconnects or EMS disables the plugin, the browser removes the plugin automatically after the next browser restart.

Note

FortiClient only supports the web browser plugin for the Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers on Windows platforms.
