Ratings and Reviews
Safe Web icon doesn't update in Safari
As I have seen other users report: the Safe Web icon for Safari on Mac usually doesn't update.
Sometimes when I click the icon several times it updates. Many times I have to refresh the page to get it to update.
Also the "Untested" icon is the same color as the checked "safe" icon. The only thing different is there is a "?" instead of a checkmark. So it makes it hard to notice.
I notice it works on Firefox on Mac. But I want to use Safari on my Mac.
Safe Web Icon does not update in Toolbar
The Safe Web Icon in the toolbar does not always update when you navigate to another link. This happens approximately 50% of the time. If you click on the icon, then it updates. This would be a 5-star extension if it just worked consistently.
Even when you launch Safari, the icon is never updated until you click on the icon. My start-up page is Google.
My OS is Big Sur and I'm also running the latest version of the Norton extension.
Its pretty good
It's good for seeing if your sites are no virus and phising, but seems a little buggy when you restart your computer and open Safari because the extension doesnt turn on until you click on it then its good to go for as long as you keep safari open , but if you force restart it then you need to click the safe web extension or it wont scan anything
