Re Norton Safe Web and the Green Checkmarks on any browser. When the checkmarks do choose to appear, they are incomplete, different from the past. When you hover over the mark, it shows the address at top okay, then the “Safe” when safe okay, continuing down it does NOT show the "threats:0 that is missing is not okay, and below that it shows “Norton” in the bottom left corner okay, but in the bottom right corner should be a link to view the “FULL REPORT” but that is missing also not okay. Either Norton knows but hasn’t fixed this problem or Norton checkmarks were hi-jacked or hacked – and this is the case with Firefox and MS Edge browsers. (I tried Chrome and the green checkmarks wouldn’t work so I don’t know what the checkmark search icon looked like.)
Yes, appears Norton made some changes.
