#### Q: Are Electron apps safe? #### Q: Can you explain Electron App Security?
**A:** An often shared article suggests a flaw with Electron apps, however the referenced attack requires a user to have a compromised machine, which of course would allow a malicious attacker to compromise data on that machine. As long as you have no reason to believe the device you are using has been compromised, your data is safe. **A:** An often shared article suggests a flaw with Electron apps, however the referenced attack requires a user to have a compromised machine, which of course would allow a malicious attacker to compromise data on that machine.

#### Q: Are Browser Extensions safe? #### Q: How does Bitwarden secure Browser extensions?
Extensions are safe to use if they are developed correctly. Due to the nature of how browser extensions work there is always a chance for a bug to arise. We take extreme care and caution when we are developing our extensions and add-ons, we keep our eyes and ears out for anything going on in the industry, and we conduct security audits to keep many eyes on everything.
