| Some browsers, like Opera, rely on the Native Messaging folder that belongs to Google Chrome instead of using a folder of their own. On earlier macOS versions, AdGuard could simply create this folder itself. Starting with macOS 27, however, macOS does not allow AdGuard to request access to Chrome's folder unless Chrome is actually installed.
