Is Norton Safe Web safe?
Warns about risky websites and blocks reported risky pages and downloads while you browse.
This extension checks pages you load against Norton's Remote URL Reputation Service and shows site safety information while you search, shop, or browse. It can display block pages for risky content, remove reported risky downloads, show protection-related notifications, store settings, and keep running in the background for faster startup.

Gen Digital - 15 other listings from the same operator, 1 of them carrying a finding
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
3 other listings published from this account, 9.2M+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Same operator - 12 listings
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
Shared hosts - 12 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
Publishers can request a review.
What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 3.25.0.13. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
