Our solution for Linux and Chromebook, an extension that works without having to install our separate desktop application, is also available on Windows and macOS through your extension options.

Our extension has two "modes":

Desktop, where the extension works in tandem with our desktop app
Standalone, where the extension works on its own

This mode can be changed by clicking the Options button next to Dashlane in the extension management panel of your browser.

So if your extension is gray, it may be due to the mode in which it is currently set. In Standalone mode, the extension will be gray until you click it and log in to your Dashlane account in your browser. If you would like the extension to connect with the desktop application, please make sure that it's set to the Desktop mode using the Options button as explained above.
