Do you want to know how to turn off safesearch? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Safesearch is a tool designed to prevent children or those with similar security preferences from accessing inappropriate material on the internet. It works by filtering out online search results and images to make sure they are not offensive or dangerous. While this security measure is necessary for many, it can be a problem for those who rely on uncensored online searches for legitimate purposes. Fortunately, it’s possible to turn off safesearch in a variety of ways depending on the search engine you’re using and the computer or device you’re on.
To disable safesearch on a desktop or laptop computer, first open your internet browser and log into your search engine. For example, if you’re using Google Chrome, open a new tab, go to Google’s website, and log in. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “settings.” Then click “search settings” and scroll down until you see the safesearch toggle; this might read "safe search", "filter explicit results", or "filter explicit content". Click the toggle to turn off safesearch.
To disable safesearch on a mobile device, open your internet browser and log into your search engine. On an iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and scroll down to the Safari section. Then tap "search engine" and select your search engine from the list. On an Android, open your internet browser and log into your search engine, then tap the Settings icon in the upper left-hand corner. Then tap “search," select your search engine from the list, and tap “safesearch” to disable it.
Finally, you can also control safesearch from your router, which will ensure that your search engine does not display adult or dangerous content on any device connected to it—even if safesearch is turned off on a particular device. To do this, log into your router’s web interface and find the settings page for your search engine (the page might be different depending on the router you’re using). Then disable the safesearch feature.
Now you know how to turn off safesearch. Remember that while disabling safesearch is useful in some cases, it is not recommended for children and can be dangerous if they are not supervised while using the internet.
