- (2020-07-22) Gord C: 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.

- (2019-06-16) Nyan_ Neko_: 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。
