Google Chrome: As of Chrome 49, the <keygen> function has been disabled by default and digital certificate file types are downloaded instead of installed. While the keygen function can manually be enabled, the custom filetype handling is still removed, therefore installation through Google Chrome is not supported.
Microsoft Internet Explorer: IE uses the CertEnroll/XEnroll ActiveX control to generate and install certificates through the browser.
Microsoft Edge: Neither the <keygen> nor the CertEnroll/XEnroll ActiveX controls are present in Microsoft's new Edge browser.
Mozilla Firefox: This browser supports key generation and certificate installation by default through the <keygen> function and special certificate file type handling.
Note:While Firefox supports in-browser certificate installation, it uses its own keystore to store the certificate and is not shared with other applications. Installing through Internet Explorer will install the certificate to the Windows Certificate Store which is used by other applications such as Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Google Chrome. For this reason, Internet Explorer is recommended and is used in the example screenshots.

Most Chromebook keyboards look a little different: If you’re used to working on a Windows or Apple computer, you’re probably familiar with the F-keys — from F1 through F12 — that appear at the top of your computer’s keyboard. On most Chromebooks, however, these F-keys aren’t included. They’ve been replaced by shortcut keys.
If you have a need for F-keys, don’t fret, you can convert your Chromebook’s shortcut keys into F-keys by following these steps:
Google Chrome Enable Key Generation 10
Click the Settings panel in the bottom right corner of your Chromebook screen.
In the resulting Settings menu, choose Settings.
This loads your Chromebook settings into a Chrome browser window.
Scroll down to the Device section and click Keyboard Settings.
This loads the Keyboard Settings overlay.
Check the Treat Top-Row Keys as Function Keys checkbox.
Click OK.
This disables the shortcut functionality of your Chromebook’s shortcut keys and enables their function as F-keys.
