Only chromium-based browsers are supported. There are two macOS versions of the Axiad Conductor OS Bridge package: - **axiad-webpcsc-native--admin.msi:** Typically intended for automated deployment with a GPO or a third-party package management solution such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (formerly SCCM). This requires local administration rights on the macOS machine. - **axiad-webpcsc-native--user.msi:** Only installs for the current user. **Recommended for testing only.** See [Install Axiad Conductor OS Bridge (macOS)](/v1/docs/mac-install-webpcsc) for procedures. ## Axiad Conductor Browser Extension You can manually install the Axiad Conductor Browser Extension on a single browser, or, if you want to install it on multiple users' machines, you can automate the installation using Group Policy Objects (GPOs) or a third-party IT management solution. See [Install the Axiad Conductor Browser Extension (macOS)](/v1/docs/mac-install-portal) for procedures.
