Norton Safe Web by NortonLifeLock

Rated 2 out of 5
by Tacsipacsi, 6 years agoGreat add-on for security, but still inferior to the legacy version at some fields:
– Blocks malicious websites a bit late (I believe that it’s a restriction of the WebExtension technology), and every time during a browsing session, i.e. even if I just accepted the danger and click on an internal link on the page (this can be fixed).
– Still not marking safe and malicious websites in Google search results, but asks me time to time to set Norton Safe Search as the default search engine. I don’t want to use that awful piece of software, I want to use Google or Bing or whatever I’m used to, with the little badges by the Norton extension. It’s not that hard to achieve even with WebExtensions.
– I don’t remember how it worked before, but when the extension thinks that a download is malicious, I can’t download it. If I know that the extension is wrong, I have to disable it to get the file downloaded.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18281513, 3 months agoJUnk and NO I am not installing anything that 1. Bullguard did without addons. 2. Firefox does better and 3. Random hijacking off my browser suggesting I install your bloody extensions!! Spyware behaviour when extensions were never required to do the exact same thing over a decade ago. And I'm not installing them to unistall them so you stop hijacking my browser....Should be able to toggle in the app so it doesn't flipping behave like Malware.
Can't wait till my Bullguard sub ends - Rated 1 out of 5by Janky, 5 months agoFirefox has pretty much all the features of this built in and better
