Monitoring what your children will search about on the internet is tiring, however, limiting the content they can see from a browser search is simple. We all know that the internet has all sorts of imaginable and unimaginable content. That being said, you might not know what your child might be looking at right now on the internet.
This is why you need to enable Google SafeSearch on your chrome browser to automatically filter content perceived as inappropriate after a browser search across websites, images, and videos to save you from the anxiety attack you could be facing right now. Google SafeSearch uses algorithms to sieve out explicit content like pornography, violence, and gore from your results.
However much SafeSearch will give you a user-friendly experience, it also blocks you from accessing important content and living in real-time.
