With AI Browsers Creating Fresh Security and Privacy Concerns, Norton Neo Is the First to Enter with a Safety-First Approach
Norton has released Neo, the first AI‑native browser built around privacy and security, positioning it against AI‑first competitors like Perplexity and OpenAI. Neo eliminates the need for user prompts by proactively delivering summaries, reminders and context‑aware suggestions directly within the browsing flow. The browser stores all personal data locally, never uses it for model training, and integrates Norton’s anti‑phishing, anti‑malware and real‑time web‑intelligence engines. Its "calm‑by‑design" philosophy aims to lower cognitive load while safeguarding users from the emerging risks of agentic AI browsers.
