Annoying 'Norton Safe Search' pop-ups all the time

Norton 360 for Windows
1

When is Norton going to fix this issue of pop-ups all the time on ‘Norton Safe Search’ as already installed on Google Chrome but as disabled. So, it is very annoying to come up several times all day and to want that damn thing OFF. I originally didn’t want that extension but at first removed it and now it is forcing me to have that extension re-installed and despite that for all the pop-ups to never stop. When is Norton is going to stop this rot on my computer as enough is enough.

Did you try install → disable
Or, remove Norton Safe Web

fwiw ~ by my read:
Protect your searches with Norton Safe Search reads like notice for Norton Safe Web users that the Norton Safe Web extension will stop providing the ratings to all search engines except for Norton Safe Search.

And to continue seeing site ratings, Norton Safe Web users will need to install the Norton Safe Search extension.

by my read:
regardless of whether Norton Safe Web users have Norton Safe Search installed now or not

Care to try Bitdefender Traffic Light [here]

I tried to remove that but for the pop-ups to bother me all the time and because of that forced me to re-install the extension. But still for the pop-ups to come up all the time even though re-installed but disabled. So, it is driving me mad to want that to stop.

You get popup with Norton Safe Search installed & not installed?
and Norton Safe Web is installed? enabled?

Oh okay…what browser? do you run browser sync?
and clearing browser cache n cookies does not stop popup?

Caveat: I do not run Norton extensions. Norton extensions installed for testing.

5

Google Chrome and that extension is installed but disabled.

6

Safe Web is installed but, disabled?
Do you run Chrome Sync?

and you’ve removed Norton Safe Web…as test?

7

Yes, Safe Web is installed as well. Chrome in sync with other devices.

8

and you’ve removed Norton Safe Web…as test?

Do you run Chrome Sync?

Nope, not yet, not Norton Safe Web.

as to how long you’ll see notice…I’m thinking…for some time…as long as you run Norton Safe Web on Chrome.

I imagine: Norton wants you to run Norton Private Browser.
&
Norton 360 v24 has Browser Protection → Web Shield [here] doesn’t require an extension.

I have seen pop-ups in recent days ever since mid-week and still to bother me?

12

I have that info about that private browser but would prefer to Google Chrome.

13

Yes, I agree. I’d rather run Chrome vs Private Browser.

Do you run Chrome Sync?

And you’re married to Norton Safe Web?

Caveat: I do not run Norton Private Browser. Private Browser installed for testing.

Yes, have Norton Safe Web with Norton Safe Web.

Yes, Norton 360 v24 > 24.10.9535 (build 24.10.9535.882)

But upgraded from Norton Security to Norton 360

16

Norton 360 v24 has Browser Protection → Web Shield [here] doesn’t require an extension.

?

17

Norton Safe Web with Norton Safe Search.

18

You run Norton Safe Web & Norton Safe Search on Chrome.
And Norton wants Chrome users to know…Norton Safe Web extension will stop providing the ratings to all search engines except for Norton Safe Search.

19

This is right, the ‘Green Check Marks’ has disappeared on any Google search.
