Norton Safe Web by NortonLifeLock

Rated 2 out of 5
by Tacsipacsi, 7 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 PrivateName, 18 days agoVery irritating. When running a search, the first 5-10 results are paid ads. I deleted the extension.

- Rated 2 out of 5by thor94, 3 months agowhen this extension will be updated, it is more than a year we are stuck with the 3.22 bugged with false positives when the chromium version was updated in november 2024 with the 3.26 and almost no false alert.

was nutzt das dann? Werbeblocker gibt es bereits genug.
keine Möglichkeit bösartige Seiten zu melden, wenn man nicht zahlender Nutzer ist ... Hilfe füreinander wohl nicht gewünscht? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17433267, 4 months ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14002826, 5 months agoGives false ratings on Facebook, shows some legitimate (and very safe) pages as having a suspicious link - they are safe, and have been for several years!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nwankama, 6 months agoHorrible! I might be better off with a virus. It blocks some sites even Norton itself rates as Safe. Worse, it doesn't give you an opportunity for an exception. I contacted Norton and they confirmed the site from a reputable organization in question was SAFE. Still this horrible extension kept saying it was DANGEROUS and blocking me from living my life. So, I have disabled it!
