Installation Guide

Browserflare is available for Windows and macOS. Follow the instructions for your platform below.

Windows

System Requirements

• Windows 10 or later (64-bit)

Download and Install

1. Download the installer: Browserflare_0.6.0_x64_en-US.msi
2. Run the .msi file and follow the setup wizard
3. Once installed, launch Browserflare from the Start menu

Windows SmartScreen

If Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, click More info and then Run anyway. This appears because the app is not yet code-signed with an EV certificate.

Mac

System Requirements

• macOS 12 (Monterey) or later
• Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)

Download and Install

1. Download the installer: Browserflare_0.6.0_aarch64.dmg
2. Open the .dmg file
3. Drag Browserflare into your Applications folder
4. Launch Browserflare from Applications or Spotlight

Gatekeeper Warning

On first launch, macOS will block the app because it is not notarized. To fix this, open Terminal and run:

xattr -cr /Applications/Browserflare.app

This removes the quarantine attribute that macOS applies to downloaded apps. After running the command, you can launch Browserflare normally.
