| 2024-12-17 |  | | en | Unusable. Replaces search results with some text like "trusted website, you're all safe bro". Also changes the icon for the website to the little green w logo for the extension. Makes it impossible to read your search results. I am glad its safe webroot but what is it? Pretty impossible to use as is. |
| 2024-11-30 |  | | en | I use this computer for school ALOT and this said what websites were safe kept me from getting malware installed in my chromebook God bless this extension. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | en | Ever since I bought Webroot I have had nothing but trouble with it. I'm going to delete the program and go back to what I had before this. Too F+++ing complicated. |
| 2024-07-07 |  | | en | Every time I log on to Chrome, a pop=up tells me that :web threat shield has been added" and asks me if I want to allow it or remove it. I choose add it but it asks me every time! I don't know if I've added it or not! |
| 2024-06-30 |  | | en | Not sure what changed recently, but now all my link names in chrome are replaced with " Trustworthy, It's safe to go" in the title and it makes it difficult to tell what the site is. I've been a long-time Webroot customer and never had this much intrusiveness into my browsing habits. I've disabled the extension for now, as it's annoying as hell. |

| 2024-06-03 |  | | en | Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn |
