I like the Norton Homepage, except it doesn’t give me control over which Icons appear. I can create new ones, but they get replaced by “Sponsored Icons” that I don’t want to see on my homepage! Is there any way to fix this?

Do you mean Norton Private Browser homepage? → Sponsored links
Did you try:

==================================================
Do you mean Norton Home Page browser extension? → Ad links
Norton Home Page browser extension “Ad links” are a default part of the free extension and cannot be disabled without removing the extension entirely.
Norton Home Page browser extension includes “baked-in” sponsored links primarily as a monetization strategy to support its free services. While the extension is marketed for security—offering features like URL filtering and phishing protection—it also functions as a revenue generator through search and advertising partnerships.
- Monetization of Free Tools: Norton offers several extensions for free (even to non-subscribers), and sponsored links on the home page or within search results help offset development and maintenance costs.
- Search Partnerships: The extension sets Norton Safe Search as the default search engine, which includes a fixed row of advertisements or “sponsored” results that cannot be removed through standard settings.
- Revenue Generation: Developers of such extensions generate revenue by promoting specific websites or services and may collect browsing data for marketing purposes.
