Norton Secure Browser

Posted: 17-Oct-2023 | 11:48PM · 7 Replies ·

I have (manually) downloaded and installed the Norton Secure Browser on my desktop PC with Windows11 Pro OS Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.2428) and running Norton Security Premium.

I would like to know -

1] How to get an "icon" with dropdown list of bookmarks, as available in Microsoft Edge/Firefox browser etc., instead of the side panel option? Similarly for history, instead of the dropdown available on top (end of tab row) which does not have an option to clear the history!

2] Where can I set for the Norton Secure Browser to "completely" forget all history as soon as the browser is closed? Meaning to say, I do not want any history retained and shown in the browser once it has been closed and then reopened.

Thank you.

Norton Secure Browser feels (to me) more like Chrome than Edge or Firefox.

That is because it is Chromium based. 

Have you checked out the Bookmarks Bar in Norton's browser? If you enable the setting, the ">>" on the right side seems to give a drop sown menu on my browser.

Edge is Chromium based, too.

Did you check my post above?    https://community.norton.com/en/comment/8547837#comment-8547837  If you activate the Bookmark toolbar there is a dropdown list on the right side.

A big thanks to all who took time to answer my query!

However, it still does not resolve my query.

I would like all "history" to automatically get deleted/cleared once the browser has been closed and reopened. I could not find a setting for this action. This is available in most other browsers, in their "settings".

Example -

In Firefox it is available in Settings ---> Privacy & Security ---> History options

In Microsoft Edge it is available in Settings ---> Privacy, search, and services ---> Clear Browsing Data ---> Choose what to clear every time you close the browser

Hope this clarifies
