What is SafeSearch in Google
SafeSearch is a feature of the Google search engine that automatically prevents dangerous, offensive, and inappropriate results (images, videos, and websites) from being displayed in search results. SafeSearch helps ensure that children are not exposed to explicit or inappropriate content on Google, even if third-party parental controls are enabled.
Google SafeSearch is used by parents, teachers, educators, and sometimes libraries, municipalities, and schools to make the Internet a safer place for children (and everyone). With Google being the dominant search engine, SafeSearch makes it easier to protect children online. This is despite the topic of their search.
The SafeSearch setting filters and prevents explicit results from appearing in your search results. Although no filter is 100% accurate. Enabling this setting allows you to avoid explicit content when you search.
Note: Your device or network administrators can configure SafeSearch to always remain enabled.
