I cannot get anything to work with Norton lately...no home page, no safe search. Very disappointing after years of using Norton with no issues. Now it is all problems.

Hmmm..its a additional for security though its not required because google chrome is safe enough to protect u from the scammers and hackers...but its a additional for some people who wants to be extra secured,,,my experience is its slows down my searchs and hides most of pages from regular chrome search that were completely safe and chrome showed it before this extension...so its not made for users like me..

Zorla arama motorunu Norton safe search ayarlıyorsunuz. Diğer Chromium tarayıcılar da zorla yamıyorsunuz da Google Chrome da mı yapıyorsunuz? Benim hangi arama motorunu kullanmayı zorlamayın!

Franchement un outils vraiment parfait! Je l'utilise sur mon navigateur Opéra GX grâce à une compatibilité native avec les extensions Google Chrome! Et combien de fois il m'a protégé des sites web dangereux!

Mais je dois également signaler un bug. Après quelques jours à utiliser l'extension il se met à un moment ou un autre totalement inactif lorsque je clique sur le "?" la page qui s'ouvre est toutes blanches, rien ne s'affiche. Et pire à chaque fois que j'essaye de réinstaller l'extension pour corriger le problème il se remet à être inactif.

Je suis sous Windows 10 et mon navigateur est Opéra GX avec la compatibilité des extensions Google Chrome.

You never realize How Good it is, till you change it. I have used Norton forever, had it free from ISP, but they stopped that. Well, best thing i did was add the Norton Safe Search and i have used this for as long as i can remember. It has been great in protecting and when they update, they don't reset my settings, like another Brand. I'm back to what works best, thanks Norton
