Bob Wherry (ID: 000000c8b8ab12c6) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/11/2024 The search engine does not provide coverage that is anywhere near that provided by google, I have to go to google after Norton safe search to get decent coverage of the subjects I search! Further Norton says it will no longer provide guidance as to the safety of a site unless you use their search engine. I pay a substantial annual fee for Norton and they risk losing customers when they cut service to my extreme disappointment. I plan to cancel my Norton account when it comes up for renewal if Norton does not change its attitude,

Minh Huu Nguyen (ID: 000000b36fd70048) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/11/2023 What I do not like about this Norton Safe Search is it removes my own home-page with my prefered webpages in Chrome and replaces it with something quite different. It even changes the look of my home-page. It should keep the original home-page I has.

Don Pollard (ID: 000000e76f49964e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/12/2023 This is rediculous - I have to sift through almost a full page of Sponsored Ad's before getitng to what I'm searching for - I could understand if I was a non paid user - however, I have paid for Norton for years on all of my devices - I would expect to not have to put up with Sponsored ads from a paid service. Rediculous -

Victoria Bernaldo (ID: 000000766711b3fa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/23/2023 I have used Norton for several years and it has served me well. There are features that I don't understand and are learning more about it. However, if a person is unhappy there are many that perhaps will fill your needs. If that begins to happen for me, I will change. Blessings
