Norton Neo Browser
Norton Neo is an AI-native desktop browser developed by Norton, designed to integrate advanced artificial intelligence with robust privacy protections. It aims to provide a browsing experience that is both powerful and safe, without compromising user data. The browser is built from the ground up to include AI-driven features like the Magic Box, which adapts to user intent to offer classic search, AI-generated answers, or smart suggestions. Privacy is central, with built-in VPN, anti-fingerprinting, ad blocking, and Norton Web Shield to block malicious sites and phishing. User data is stored locally and never used for model training. Users have control over what the browser remembers, with options to forget or disable memory entirely. Productivity tools include Universal Search that indexes open tabs, browsing history, and AI chats; Split View for side-by-side content; and Peek and Summarize to quickly preview and condense web pages. The browser is free to download, and Norton emphasizes trust and safety as a core brand value.
