After I installed the new version of Chrome last night, it stopped working. It still works in Edge. I just get the little green icon that looks like a flower. Anyone else?

I don’t use Google Chrone but I’ve been having the same problem with Edge for the last two days.

Well, this morning Edge updated and now web threat shield doesn’t work there either. Anyone else?
Yes I can confirm as well since it updated! Since both have gone to version 104. I would assume other Chromium based browsers. Info on Edges new security update:
Earlier this week, Web Threat Shield stopped working on Chrome after an update. This morning, Edge updated and now WTS isn’t working there either. Is anyone else experiencing this?

There seems to be an update to chrome all the time!
Yes this is not the first time an update has broken the Web Filter and at times with Firefox as well.

I reached out to support again and here was their response:
Thank you for bringing the issue you are experiencing to our attention.
Google changed their page structure on some pages with their latest update, therefore the Web Threat Shield from Webroot no longer behaves how it normally should.
The Webroot Development team has been notified of this issue and is currently working on a resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience. As as workaround, please use Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox, as these browsers work just fine with the Web Threat Shield.
I have the same problem with no WebThreat safe/unsafe icons despite a active extension in Chrome. It does work in Edge.
I reported the problem to WebThreat support and talked with them yesterday. They said it was because I hadn’t updated Chrome and that I didn’t need to worry because it would notify me if a page was not safe. I updated Chrome and the problem persists.
I also notice that my list of search results clears within seconds and is replaced with less relevant items. I’m still trying to track down whether I have some malware.
Not working for me. Not showing safe and unsafe sites in any web search

I can confirm as well! Also I can go to a Bad website without getting a Blocked Page from the Web Shield. Also I’m using the Preview from the current Beta.

I am also seeing this. The extension is there in chrome at the top right, but it does not show the checkmark on search results on google.
I have confirmed that Edge and Brave browser still have the checkmark on search engine results
Windows 10, btw. I tried uninstalling the extension and reinstalling, no luck. Odd that it works in Edge.
