What is Norton Neo?
Norton Neo is a next-generation web browser engineered from the ground up with artificial intelligence at its core, rather than as an afterthought. It serves as a personal digital assistant that anticipates user needs through proactive features while maintaining strict privacy standards. The browser unifies search, chat, and productivity tools into a single experience designed to reduce friction in online tasks. A hybrid architecture processes information locally on your device whenever possible, with optional cloud processing only when necessary, giving users complete control over their data. Protected by Norton Web Shield against malicious sites and phishing attempts, Neo delivers both intelligent browsing and enterprise-grade security without compromise.
