Norton safe search is a security program from Norton that lets Internet users know if websites they’re planning to visit are a risk or not. This is crucial because nearly every day there are reports of financial assets and identity theft being taken from computers by ransomware and malware that was downloaded from dangerous websites.
Norton uses a community feedback system to keep an eye on the Web. Users can evaluate the performance of websites and whether anything suspicious occurs while browsing these sites. Site owners can also submit their websites for review. If they meet certain criteria and are deemed to be safe, they’ll receive a Norton Secured Seal that lets users know the site is safe and trustworthy.
You can show safety ratings next to all search results in the browser with the Norton Safe Search Extension for Google Chrome. This gives you maximum protection against identity thieves, phishing websites and online viruses. The extension is light and will not slow down your computer.
One of the major issues is that Norton’s rating is not shown in the results of searches for images, videos and news. This is a serious oversight due to the importance of these types of results in a user’s experience when searching. It would be pleasing to see Norton’s rating included in the results of search results for ads since they are typically malware-infested or scams involving phishing. Nonetheless, the extension is worth trying to avoid the risks of shopping and browsing the Internet.
