Safe Web icon doesn't update in Safari

As I have seen other users report: the Safe Web icon for Safari on Mac usually doesn't update.
Sometimes when I click the icon several times it updates. Many times I have to refresh the page to get it to update.
Also the "Untested" icon is the same color as the checked "safe" icon. The only thing different is there is a "?" instead of a checkmark. So it makes it hard to notice.

I notice it works on Firefox on Mac. But I want to use Safari on my Mac.

Safe Web Icon does not update in Toolbar

The Safe Web Icon in the toolbar does not always update when you navigate to another link. This happens approximately 50% of the time. If you click on the icon, then it updates. This would be a 5-star extension if it just worked consistently.

Even when you launch Safari, the icon is never updated until you click on the icon. My start-up page is Google.

My OS is Big Sur and I'm also running the latest version of the Norton extension.

Poor Mac Support

This is a warning for those considering the Norton suite on Mac. A few objective observations:

1) Hanging or crashing
2) Multiple uninstall and reinstall to keep it working
3) Continuous asking for passwords
4) Pop-ups to register even when it is registered
5) Confusing and inconsistent blocking and unblocking service / firewall protection
6) Poor UI design
7) Outdated and incomplete product documentation

As someone who rarely writes a product review, I am compelled to post my experience as a warning for other to consider. I called support tried to get my money back after struggling for 3 months with this, but it was “after 90 days.” I considered filing a complaint with my credit card company but at some point you just have to let it go and warn others.

This is on a 2018 Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz i7, 16GB RAM with MS Office, Pro Tools and Ableton Live. Nothing else installed.
