Norton Secure Browser - Advertising overload

Norton secure browser installed, enter a query and the first several (usually a minimum of 5) responses are 'sponsored'.  This is way out of line for a similar Chrome (base version that is) query.  This is another way of Norton deliberately inconveniencing customers in order to monetize their activities.  It is a pity effort is not being put into what CUSTOMERS would actually like to see, and adverts are not something that I want to see.

This behavior is way out of line with competitive products.

Re: Norton Secure Browser - Advertising overload

extensions not from Norton Addons store - trusted extensions == are blocked

Norton Addons store - trusted extensions
https://addons.norton.securebrowser.com

as test: I installed uBlock Origin, Malwarebytes Browser Guard & more from Chrome Web Store.  

Malwarebytes Browser Guard extension installed okay from Chrome Web Store with "I understand the risks".
