Latest reviews
- (2024-11-11) Bob Wherry: The search engine does not provide coverage that is anywhere near that provided by google, I have to go to google after Norton safe search to get decent coverage of the subjects I search! Further Norton says it will no longer provide guidance as to the safety of a site unless you use their search engine. I pay a substantial annual fee for Norton and they risk losing customers when they cut service to my extreme disappointment. I plan to cancel my Norton account when it comes up for renewal if Norton does not change its attitude,
- (2023-11-11) Minh Huu Nguyen: What I do not like about this Norton Safe Search is it removes my own home-page with my prefered webpages in Chrome and replaces it with something quite different. It even changes the look of my home-page. It should keep the original home-page I has.
- (2023-10-12) Don Pollard: This is rediculous - I have to sift through almost a full page of Sponsored Ad's before getitng to what I'm searching for - I could understand if I was a non paid user - however, I have paid for Norton for years on all of my devices - I would expect to not have to put up with Sponsored ads from a paid service. Rediculous -
- (2023-08-26) Demostenes Fermin Iturrizaga Huaman: Time Line.
- (2023-06-23) Victoria Bernaldo: I have used Norton for several years and it has served me well. There are features that I don't understand and are learning more about it. However, if a person is unhappy there are many that perhaps will fill your needs. If that begins to happen for me, I will change. Blessings
- (2023-02-21) Julio Cesar Garcia: Hace 1 mes tuve los problemas descriptos y desinstalé Norton. Volví a instalarlo pues sentí inseguridad ante advertencias permanentes . Espero no tener tantos problemas ahora y que Norton haya tenido en cuenta los comentarios arriba escritos.
- (2023-02-14) Imad: Sorry it seems to me, Norton is virus because Ican't get red of it. So I pay money to have a virus, well better uninstall it.
- (2022-11-25) Isabelle Deknop: Recherches avec Norton un peu fouillis mais je constate une colonne de résultats à droite avec des résultats plus poussés. C'est une bonne idée. C'est très différent de Google et Google reste plus pratique avec davantage d'infos et de pistes de recherches.
- (2022-11-24) Edir: Não faz nada de espetacular, só te irrita com o popup insistindo pra ser instalado!
- (2022-10-27) Zarabiam Praca w Internecie: NORTON = TRASH Don't use it, i don't recommend it false posivite report + sick peoples on support.

- (2022-08-23) Thelma Acevedo: Solamente yo uso esta computadora, y con Norton tengo ahora muchos problemas cada vez que necesito entrar a los lugares que yo solía entrar fácilmente.
- (2022-05-28) Guillermo Gabriel Toso: Modifica los resultados que traería una búsqueda sin tener habiitada esta extensión, incluyendo anuncios en primer lugar. A pesar de tener una suscripción Norton paga y activa.
- (2022-03-28) EZE BLANCO: Al habilitar la extensión noto como que las paginas no cargan de manera fluida o rápida, se notan como pesadas o con lentitud, Aclaro que el sistema operativo es el Windows 11, con PC AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 16GB RAM DDR4 3600Mhz y placa de video RX 6700XT. las especificaciones sobran pero algo no esta bien, al utilizar Google todo vuelve a funcionar perfecto, espero lo puedan solucionar! Saludos

- (2022-01-13) Caleb Hughes: so im paying for a service that doesnt work? my safe search just stopped appearing. thanks NORTAN
- (2021-11-28) bjbaldori: This product has made me sorry I switched from McCaffe! All I get are pop-ups telling me I need to buy this, change to that, etc. I never had this issue with McCaffe and never had a problem. Before my renewal I will be switching back.
- (2021-08-25) Daniel Lindqvist: Jag använder en sökmotor för att få resultat på min sökning, inte för att få ett några sidor med annonser. Känns oseriöst. :-(
- (2021-08-23) Kimberle Webster: First, thank you for all of your reviews. I have used NORTON (SYMANTEC) for years and really liked it. It did work in the background and I did not receive all those annoying pop-ups trying to sell another product...or even wanting me to install for free. I also had paid to add LifeLock at one time and liked it also. Now, however, I agree with the many reviewers who are unhappy that NORTON has chosen to override Chrome (or any browser) with Yahoo. I never have liked Yahoo. I have tried to choose Chrome as my default with no luck. I also often get pop-ups notifying me I should install NORTON on my other devices. I already installed it on my phone and wonder why they don't know that. I really don't know where to go from here because I do want my laptop and phone protected.

- (2021-04-16) Sr OC: El mejor antivirus que he tenido.
- (2021-04-06) Robert Moore: This used to be a very good extension. Not perfect, by any means, but quite helpful. The most recent updated has just turned this into Yahoo's Safe Search. It's worthless. It simply changes your default search engine. No longer does it show you what is "safe" in a search on Google.
- (2021-03-07) Binod Binani: simple but perfect
