Kurt Haenen (ID: 00000014930846c1) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/23/2021 Doesn't work. Only shows an empty window when trying to read the eID card. That window seems to come from FireWyrmNativeMessageHost.exe which itself seems fishy. In addition this plugin - as too many others - is again written in Java and again drags along its own bulky JRE. In short: it's shameful that something thrown together like this is used for secure business by some renomated Belgian institutions (like ING).
