About Norton Neo

Norton Neo is an AI browser built by Gen Digital, the consumer digital security team behind Norton. It includes a VPN and ad blocker; Magic Box adapts to your intent before you finish typing, switching among classic search, AI answers, and smart suggestions. Universal Search instantly finds content across tabs, history, and AI chats, and supports split screen and Peek and Summarize. Anti-fingerprinting protection works globally by default, blocking and randomizing hidden signals such as screen size, fonts, and GPU behavior. For AI, it uses a zero-retention policy and does not use your data to train models; AI summaries show their sources. The built-in VPN encrypts browsing traffic in one click, follows a no-logs policy, and undergoes an independent audit each year.

FAQ

The official site says Neo does not use your data to train models and applies a zero-retention policy to all AI providers; AI requests are routed through servers, and providers do not receive your IP address or browser headers.
