Norton Safe Search Enhanced

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.

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.

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

Can't change search engine because of it. Uninstalled.

Awful. Has too many ads and pop ups.

Norton is staying true to their business model of force-feeding their users features they don't want. The forced home page and search engine are an insult to their user base. After a bit of research and testing, I found that Bitdefender - Traffic Light does what this Norton extension used to, without the extra garbage. You may have to use an alternate default search engine than Google for Traffic light to work, however anything is better than Norton's proprietary sEaRcH eNgInE.

Forced changes new tabs, can't change it back otherwise. Idiotic, I need a plugin, not a nanny. Go away.

Norton sucks far to many pop ups, it's a virus in it's own right

I don't like it as my Chrome browser now opens links in new tabs. Plus it's too slow.

I'm very happy with my other Norton products, but giving Safe Search a 1-star review because my Chrome browser now opens links in new tabs. I can't find an option to change it back to my previous setting of opening links in the same tab. It may sound like a small problem but it has quickly become very annoying to have to close out of every tab every time I click on a link. If this setting can be changed, I would try this extension again.
