To disable "Norton Chrome," which typically refers to the Norton Safe Web extension in your Google Chrome browser, follow these simple steps directly within your browser settings.
The most common way to disable Norton functionality specifically integrated with Chrome is by managing its browser extension. The provided reference outlines the precise process for disabling the Norton Safe Web extension.
Steps to Disable Norton Safe Web in Chrome
Disabling the extension prevents it from actively scanning and interfering with your browsing experience. Here is the step-by-step guide:
- Start Google Chrome: Open your Google Chrome browser application.
- Access Settings: On the top-right corner of the Chrome window, locate and click the Customize and control Google Chrome menu (usually represented by three vertical dots). From the dropdown menu, select Settings.
- Navigate to Extensions: In the left-hand pane of the Settings page, click on Extensions. This page lists all installed browser extensions.
- Disable Norton Safe Web: On the Extensions page, find Norton Safe Web. Next to it, you will see a slider or toggle switch. Move the slider to the off position (typically grayed out or to the left) to disable the extension.
