Load your website's desktop and mobile views effortlessly in Adobe Target with the VEC helper extension
The VEC Helper browser extension for Chrome solves site-loading issues for which customers now rely on the Target Enhanced Experience Composer or third-party extensions.
Benefits of using the VEC Helper extension:
- All iframe busting headers, such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy, are implicitly removed from the website.
- If a webpage does not yet contain the Target at.js JavaScript library, you can use the extension to inject the library so you can author experiences for the website. You can then create activities and QA them using preview links.
- Mobile Viewports are supported without the Enhanced Experience Composer (EEC).
- Customers new to Target can use the extension to experiment with Target even if their IT developers have not yet implemented Target on their websites.
- Partners servicing multiple customers' websites and Target accounts now have one simple mechanism to support VEC loading, instead of managing multiple rules in third-party tools.
- With Chrome 80's change in the default behaviour of SameSite attribute for cookies.
- Adobe Target - Visual Enhanced Composer functionality is fixed by adding the SameSite attribute to certain session cookies used by Adobe Target components.
- Clients are now able to set the SameSite attribute to the value "None" for their own session cookies in order for them to be able to login while using VEC or EEC.

- (2023-10-04) pratik naikawadi: I just have one question - we have a testing website that requires a VPN connection, however VEC does not load the overall page from the UAT or Testing website? I need to know if there's a issue with the VEC? or It does not works with the VPN at all?
- (2023-02-24) Homer Rubi: Adobe is so full of issues all the time. This extension is hit of miss. You never know when it will work properly.
- (2023-01-06) Daniel Wright: Great extension! Please note that it is now obsolete and Adobe Target users should now download the new "Adobe Experience Cloud Visual Editing Helper" extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adobe-experience-cloud-vi/kgmjjkfjacffaebgpkpcllakjifppnca
- (2021-03-15) Carlos Moran Solano: Using this extension has been a clunky process. It was easier to validate tests before.
- (2020-12-21) Eric Matisoff: Works perfectly in the VEC - great to see it working smoothly with the Web SDK as well.
- (2019-09-25) Chris Tam: Worked great until September. Now all it does is prompt me to allow Target Libraries repetitively because it can't the libraries.... Reached out to Adobe Support and they recommended I use incognito mode. Why can't this just work out of the box like its supposed to?
- (2019-08-28) Bryan “Bevans” Evans: We shouldn't need to install a browser extension just to use your tool correctly. And it STILL requires you to "load unsafe scripts" because the Experience Cloud server is insecure. It's amazing that so many big corporations are willing to put up with such rickety software.
- (2019-05-23) Justin Harrington: Hey Adobe - remove the dialog box that tells me that Target Libraries were not injected - or allow it to be disabled. When you're in VEC, it covers up the "Save" button every time you change the page
- (2019-02-26) Tool works well, I can get into pages in Target I usually cant now. The only thing I have to complain about is the the sliding message in the top right that covers the "Cancel" and "Next" buttons. Please add a setting to hide this message, If I want to read the message I will click on the extension icon.
- (2019-02-21) Works as expected, but it only runs within the Target VEC which seems to be confusing some reviewers. Don't expect it to do anything when viewing your site page in the browser, this is specifically for loading pages in the Visual Experience Composer interface.
- (2019-02-20) Nate Stromme: Doesn't work. Just says "Target is not running on this page. Please refer to the documentation for more information." even though Experience Cloud Debugger shows Target running on the page.
- (2019-02-20) Just get an error message that Target is not running on the page (even though I can see Target running).
