| 2024-08-29 |  | | en | My wife accidentally installed this when I told her to install Norton Safe Web (which unlike this extension, is useful). She immediately could not search anymore, because she would get 3 pages of "sponsored links" before she got to what she searched for. Basically, TLDR. This extension is doing what it is trying to prevent, it is feeding you garbage pages you didn't search for, ads, for their sponsors to make money, to the point where it is useless. Basically doing what some malware does. |
| 2024-08-21 |  | | es | Antes no me interesaba saber si las páginas eran seguras o no, desde hace un tiempo cambié eso y esta extensión es simplemente maravillosa. Si la usas y te quedan dudas de si sirve o no, entrá a https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload y pega el link del página que quieras analizar. |
| 2024-08-15 |  | | en | The search results of Norton SafeSearch are cumbersome, apparently is not able to provide reliable results, not at all. Other applications run well, though Safesearch is not worth using. |
| 2024-07-02 |  | | en | Very poor quality. Marks safe websites as malware. Especially search results websites. Looks like it is a malware that tries to reduce competition to it's search abilities |
| 2024-07-02 |  | | pt | Ótima extensão. Protege contra sites suspeitos. Infelizmente não é possível usar um mecanismo de pesquisa que não seja do Norton. |
| 2024-06-30 |  | | en | Can't change search engine because of it. Uninstalled. |
