dME Connect: No Browser Switch Required

dME Team/December 15, 2025

Not every team is ready to switch browsers on day one. We get it.

That is why we built dME Connect - a browser extension that brings dME's session controls and visibility to Chrome and Edge. No browser migration. No disruption. Just install the extension and start enforcing policies.

Why IT leaders want a browser extension first

We talk to IT leaders every week. The conversation often goes like this:

"I love the idea of a work browser. But I cannot switch 500 people to a new browser overnight. Can we start smaller?"

It is a fair question. Browser migrations take planning, change management, and buy-in across teams. And for many organizations, the immediate need is not a full browser swap - it is basic visibility and control over what is happening in Chrome and Edge right now.

dME Connect is the answer. It gives you a path to the work browser without requiring a big-bang migration.

What dME Connect delivers

With dME Connect installed on Chrome or Edge, you get immediate value:

Session controls. Clipboard restrictions, download blocking, print controls, and screen capture prevention - all enforced at the browser level. These are the same session controls available in the full dME browser, delivered through a lightweight extension.

Web app visibility. See which web apps your team uses, session duration, and access patterns. Know which SaaS tools are being adopted, which ones are rarely used, and where data is flowing.

Flexible policy enforcement. Apply different rules to different apps and user groups. Finance gets stricter clipboard controls than marketing. Contractors get download restrictions that full-time employees do not. Policies are granular and easy to manage from a central admin console.

Watermarks for accountability. Dynamic watermarks on sensitive applications deter screenshots and create accountability. Each watermark is tied to the user's identity, so if a screen capture surfaces externally, you know exactly where it came from.

A practical path from extension to full browser

Most teams start with dME Connect. They prove value with one team or one use case, see the results, and then expand. The path typically looks like this:

  1. Deploy Connect to a pilot group. Start with a team that handles sensitive data - finance, legal, or customer success. Install the extension and enable basic session controls.
  2. Measure and report. Within a week, you have visibility data that shows app usage, data flow patterns, and policy enforcement results. Share those results with leadership.
  3. Expand gradually. Roll out to additional teams based on the pilot results. Adjust policies as you learn what works.
  4. Consider the full browser. Some teams eventually move to dME Browse for the full experience - deeper controls, better performance, and a dedicated work environment. Others stay on Connect because it gives them everything they need.

Either way, you are in control. There is no pressure to move faster than your organization is ready for.

dME Connect is designed to meet you where you are today and grow with you over time. Whether you stay on the extension or eventually adopt the full dME browser, the policies, data, and configurations you build along the way carry forward. Nothing is wasted. Every step moves your organization closer to real browser visibility and control.
