How to install Sapher Shield on desktop

What exactly is a browser extension? Well, it's like a little extra boost for your browsing experience. Think of it as a piece of software that, once installed, adds custom functions tailored to your needs. Examples could be password managers, ad-blockers, or spell checkers. 

Now, when it comes to safeguarding our customers, Sapher Shield's got your back through a browser extension. 

Sapher Shield is available for desktop on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
