Hi,
Only recently the coloured flags (green, yellow, red) in front of google's suggested links have disappeared. I'm not given early warning of whether a site is safe anymore. Can someone tell me why this has happened?

Welcome to the community!
 
We are working on this and it will be corrected very soon. 
 
The issue began the other day with Chrome 36. Google Chrome is now requiring all extensions go thru their store.
 
While the checkmarks are noit appearing now, you are still protected by the web shield.

sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Beth. After I wrote the post I saw that others had the same concern. I've gone to google play and downloaded an alternative web filtering extension, temporarily, until webroot makes one available through google.
