SafeSearch with Google
Google wants you to find exactly what you’re looking for in Google Search results and nothing more.

It’s a smart and simple way to protect you and your family from unwanted search material.
Easy control
The choice is simple with SafeSearch. It can either be “ON” or “OFF”. Clear imagery lets you know at a glance if SafeSearch is switched on.
