Google safe search

A couple of days ago Google's safe search became active on my computer and I don't appear able to turn it off. I've tried searching for an answer and haven't found one that I found intelligible. Any advice?

 

You should be able to turn it off again, but it does turned on from time to time even if you deactivated it. To turn it back off, press 'Setting' at the right, under Google's search box when searching for something. You'll see 'Turn on/off Safe Search'.

 

Yes, I tried that. On refresh later and it's back on.

 

Maybe you block Google's cookies, then? If not, SafeSearch should still be turned off so long you are in the same session, aka don't refresh your page.

 

How do I block Google cookies?

 

Firefox and not incognito.

 

have you tried using a different search engine like bing,the duckygogo thing and many more

 

Yes, and those work fine. I'm just really used to Google.

 

are you using google with an account yes or no cause if no maybe google is reseting the safe search on cause the user maybe a kid and if yes try contacting google

 

I have a Google account. However, logging out doesn't help.

 

have you checked with your local laws cause the reason why google is ban here in china is cause of the laws so maybe the laws there state that google safe search is always on

 

Clearing my site data did nothing.

I'm not clear what I'm trying to turn off or on.

 

Mr Zoat

1. Go to Google, click on Settings in the bottom right and choose Search Settings.
2. Right-click on the Turn on/off SafeSearch checkbox text and choose Inspect Element.
3. Below the div that holds the checkbox, locate the hidden HTML input named "safeui". (If you're new to code, to help you locate this input element, toggle SafeSearch on and off. You should see a hidden input named safeui switching between the values on and images.)
4. Double-click on the value—either the word "on" or "images"—and type "off". Hit Enter to commit your change.
5. Hit the Save button at the bottom of the page to save this as your default search preference.

Let me know if that does it.

 

I've located the value and changed it, but I can't see an option to save the change. Where should I be looking?

 

Wit

h the token set to off, you should be using Google's save button to save your preferences. If that's not there anymore, then... maybe just navigating away does it?

 

I like DuckDuckGo for this very reason

 

Done, but I'm afraid that it didn't work.

 

Drat. I'll get back to you when I have another suggestion.

 

Mr Zoat why don't you just screen shot your problem and people here can just point it out instead of using words alone and sorry if this does not help

 

Not sure exactly what you're asking for, but okay.

As you can see, turning Safe Search off the normal way doesn't work.

Trying the fix suggested by rkyeun...

Maybe you need to get a VPN cause your country's law is a thing unless it's a hardware thing does it affect your computer or your account

 

I don't think it's that. I can still search for porn on every other search engine. It's just Google Safe Search.

 

Have you complain this to Google and does this happen even on your phone

 

I don't know how to do that.

My.. phone?

 

Oh, then check if this happens with other devices besides your computer

 

FINALLY! It turns out that my internet service provider was censoring my Google searches! After logging onto my account, search everywhere because it isn't clearly listed and then restarting my router, I can once again search for porn using Google rather than Yahoo!
