How To Turn Off Google SafeSearch And Other Search Filters

You can usually find anything on the internet without restrictions. Still, you may stumble upon explicit content that is considered not safe for work (NSFW) and not suitable for children.

However, you can avoid these situations by using your search engine’s built-in SafeSearch option, especially if you use Google as your default search engine.

It filters out potentially inappropriate content. You can also turn this setting on or off on other search engines, like Bing and DuckDuckGo.

How to turn on SafeSearch

SafeSearch is off by default or turned on for most search engines with moderate settings.

However, there are a few exceptions. For example, SafeSearch is turned on by default for Google accounts of children under 13. Similarly, family accounts only allow parents to adjust the setting.

Whichever account you operate, you’ll turn on SafeSearch to hide explicit results and screen potentially harmful content. Follow the steps for your web browser.

SafeSearch isn’t perfect. Even when turned on, explicit content may slip through. Search engines usually have options to report it.

Beyond SafeSearch to parental control

There isn’t a shortage of content you can find online.

But at the same time, there’s content put out there that’s inappropriate for children. SafeSearch is a handy tool that helps filter age-appropriate content on Google, making the internet safer.

Even with these tools, tech-savvy kids can figure out how to get around SafeSearch and see things they shouldn’t. That’s why setting up a parental control system might be worth looking into.

Establishing parental controls on your devices makes monitoring and blocking content your kids shouldn’t access far easier (and much foolproof).
