Installing Turbotax Download-CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess

Hello,

While installing Turbotax, a message pops up saying "Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app. Name: CefSharpe.BrowserSubProcess".

Is it safe or okay to choose "Allow CefSharpe.BrowerSubProcess to communicate on private networks, such as my home or work network"?

If this is not recommended, how can we uninstall or delete the CefSharpe.BrowerSubProcess?

Thank you.
