Lock SafeSearch in Google to Protect Kids From Adult Content

If you have kids who are just starting to learn computers and the power of Google, I think the first thing that might worry you is how to stop them from searching for inappropriate content or how to prevent inappropriate content from showing up as a result for innocuous search queries.

Google offers a SafeSearch option, but it shouldn’t take your kids long to figure out how to turn it off. As a result, the SafeSearch lock is a better way to block adult content from appearing in Google search results pages.

This guide shows you how to block SafeSearch in Google for a specific browser. Check it out.

First, you need to click on the “Search Settings” page at the top right of your Google search results page. You’ll also find it on the Google search homepage.

On the search settings page, you’ll find many options to control and modify your search activity on Google. You will also find SafeSearch Filtering options there.

When you click on the “Lock SafeSearch” link, you will be asked to sign in if you are not already logged in.

Once you’re signed in to SafeSearch Lock, you’ll find a SafeSearch Lock button to do this. Since this is cookie-based content blocking, Google asks you to ensure that your browser always accepts cookies. This is usually what browsers do by default, but if your computer’s browser settings are different, you can easily change this setting to accept all cookies by clicking the link on the secure search page.

Finally, it will display a message stating that SafeSearch has been successfully locked and from now on you will get those colorful bubbles on your search results page saying the same thing.

SafeSearch remains locked even if you sign out of your Google account. While this is a fairly effective way to protect children from viewing adult content, there are some caveats to this process. First, since this method uses cookies, clearing all browser cookies will remove the key. Second, if you have multiple browsers, you need to set it up for each browser. And third, if your child is a bit eccentric, this won’t stop him from getting what he wants. ????

So if your child doesn’t know how to clear cookies and doesn’t know about other search engines like Bing, this is a good way to impose certain restrictions on what they search for online.
