very precise and safe
sehr gut
well pleased
good
Not Helpful. Removed many websites that I would normally have on chrome
De vez enguiça. Uso no Vivaldi. Quando bem ajustafinho é muito bom
I take offence that the home page for Safe Search, has what appears to be, embedded Quick Links. I cannot see a way to easily remove them, or add others that I might prefer to use. Many of the links are to big corporate American companies (i.e., Walmart!). As a result, I have removed this extension.
טוב
very good
süper
最近、何もついていない普通のサイトが誤検知されるようになりました 早く改善してほしいです
Me entrega seguridad al navegar .
Acredito que se a pesquisa não foi exibida é porque há algo de errado "virus" no conteúdo.
really good
I liked Ekoru search start page is better. Their non-profit ekoru.org search engine cleans oceans.
Lixo completo. Não instale! modifica suas pesquisas, coloca outros conteúdos e dificulta a sua remoção: você remove e ele volta. É a Norton se comportando como criminosa! Compele trash
So freaking annoying. removed the extension and restarted browser then restarted computer. But the stupid Norton Safe search keeps coming back on the toolbar search. Cannot permanently remove from Chrome. Whoever developed this is very evil. wasting peoples time like this.
Como lo desinstalo?
es muy seguro
I've had Norton for years and have always been happy with it but this extension installation failed, so cannot use it.
grey one
検索結果が英語よりのものが多く、日本語のものが出てこない。 とても邪魔 使い物にならない。
Es muy útil. Excelente
bom
3.7.0.12 から 3.8.0.1 へバージョンアップすると、壁紙が見えなくなった。 画面のど真ん中に「どうでも良い Safe Search と関係ないリンク」がのさばりだした！ こんなものは要らない。 これまで通り、Norton Safe Search はホームボタンの隣で静かに監視していれば良い。 何のためにノートンセキュリティにお金を払ったのか分からない。 もとのバージョンへ戻して欲しい。フリーソフト扱いにしたのが全て悪い。
buena seguridad
I totally trust Norton, and will continue to use Norton Anti-virus. Thank a lot.
This bloody thing will not go away even after removing it from chrome. I hate it. I hate that it changed my stuff and I hate that it WILL NOT GO AWAY
Been a norton customer for years and years
gut
This app has always served me well in other engines.
shows what is safe to search on and avoid the more risky links
é um lixo. As pesquisas são modificadas, eu pesquiso uma coisa e aparece outra, outras imagens, não use do seu google chrome nunca.
I love Norton Safe Search. It will notify me if I'm on a web site that has something wrong with it and I best get away from it, last 6 words are my words.
can't seem to get on problem with pop-up blocker
GETS JOB DONE
I FELL SAFE AGAIN !!!!!
easy and effective
I've never had a problem with Norton and prefer it over McAfee.
Excelente navegador que me guía por sitios seguros. Lo recomiento como garantía de seguridad en los sitios que usted busca.
A batch of sites are not loading or extremely slow ...
Excellent safeguard against threats on the internet.
This is so great to have on my computer and I trust it completely.
