Norton Safe Search Review
Norton safe search, a security program from Norton offers Internet users know if websites they’re visiting are safe or not. This is crucial because nearly every day there are reports of identity thefts and financial assets being stolen from computers due to ransomware and malware that was downloaded from malicious websites.
Norton uses a community feedback system to check the Web. Users can assess how websites work and whether there is anything suspicious happening browsing these sites. Site owners can submit their own sites to be evaluated and, if they meet certain requirements they can be awarded the Norton Secured Seal, which assures users that the site is safe and reliable.
You can display ratings of safety on all search results within the browser with the Norton Safe Search Extension for Google Chrome. This provides you with the best protection from identity hackers, phishing websites, and online malware. The extension is lightweight and doesn’t cause any slowdown to your computer.
One major disadvantage is the fact that Norton’s ratings do not get listed in the search results for images, videos, and news. This is a pity due to the importance of these types of results for a user’s search experience. It would be ideal to see Norton’s ratings displayed alongside the results of ad searches, as they are often plagued with malware or scams involving phishing. Nonetheless this extension is worth trying to avoid the dangers of browsing and shopping on the Internet.
