The authentik Endpoint SSO browser extension is required for device compliance functionality, and is currently available via the Chrome Web Store, the Firefox Add-ons site, and the Edge Add-ons site.

The browser extension connects to the [authentik Agent](../authentik-agent/index.mdx). It supplies [device facts](./device-reporting.md#device-facts) that [stages](../../add-secure-apps/flows-stages/stages/index.md) and [policies](../../customize/policies/index.md) can use during execution of authentik [flows](../../add-secure-apps/flows-stages/flow/index.md). This enables device compliance functionality such as limiting access to applications based on operating system. See [device compliance policy](./device-compliance-policy.md) for more details.
