In
today's online search environment,
there are many browser options. Turning safe search off
on one
browser does not means that it will be off in another. Some
users
also complain that safe search does not remain off. To fix
this
problem, use your Google account to lock your safe search settings.
A more simple solution is to use this site to ensure that
safe
search is off, no matter what type of browser you are using.
The
safe search settings on your browser can only be
turned off from within the Google Preferences page. Changing
these settings will only affect your search settings when using Google.
For example, if you are using Google Chrome, then you will
need
to visit the same preferences page from with Google Chrome.
To
turn safe search off, follow the steps below.
1. From within any browser, search for Google Preferences (www.google.com/preferences)
2. As shown in the screen shot image below, select 'No filtering' to
turn safe search off.
2. Click the Save botton at the bottom of the Google Preferences page
to save your new settings.

As mentioned, turning safe search off is relavant to each browser you
may be using, as well as for each search engine.
Google
SafeSearch is a tool that allows users to screen explicit material
from search results. The default setting is moderate
filtering to screen images and videos. Your computer
may
be set to strict filtering to screen text as well. When safe
search is off no filtering is in place.
Due
to multiple browsers and the quirky
way computers work, you may turn safe search off only to find it return
to the default setting. Repeated attempts to turn off safe
search
result in frustration by millions of Google
fans.
