What's the best free downloadable firewall that's compatible with google chrome?
(I understand Zone Alarm isn't compatible).
Cheers.

    All firewalls work with all browsers. It cannot be any other way.

    I've been using ZoneAlarm for a few years, and never had any problems with either Firefox or Chrome with it. Have you actually tried ZA with Chrome, or are you basing this on the word of someone else?

    I read it on several different web pages that chrome isn't compatible with zone alarm, so I figured it was best not to try in case I had issues with it. However, I might give it a go now you've reassured me (thank you).

    You can read reviews of firewalls in this Firewall test

    Comodo and Outpost Free are free. I wouldn't even look in the direction of Zonealarm.
