bumi on Nostr: Browsers support communicating with native applications that are specifically ...
Browsers support communicating with native applications that are specifically configured, which means you first would have to install and configure the Alby companion app and then Alby can communicate with that one and only that one.
Password manages use this for example also.
In Alby this is required to be able to connect to nodes behind Tor (which browser directly don't do)
Extensions can not just communicate with any app and if you don't configure the native app then it can not communicate with anything.
You can check the browser docs for this if you want. it's just how browsers work.
You can also configure the Browser to enable Alby only on specific sites: https://guides.getalby.com/overall-guide/alby-browser-extension/faqs/how-to-enable-alby-only-on-specific-websites
but yeah, maybe it's then not for you :)
