How to turn on safe search on Google Chrome?

By turning on safe search on Google Chrome, you can search in safe mode from Google Chrome URL tab box itself. This feature filters out and blocks any inappropriate adult, sexual and potentially offensive content from search results. It’s pretty easy to turn on this safe search functionality on your Google Chrome browser. But, let’s have a look at some facts and figures before that.

“The University of New Hampshire did a study that showed that the states with the highest readership of pornographic magazines like Playboy and Penthouse, also have the highest rape rates.” Also, “Dr. Victor Cline did research that showed how consumers who become addicted to pornographic materials begin to want more explicit or extreme material and end up desiring to act out what they’ve seen.”

These studies show that there is a direct correlation between pornography and sexual crimes. That’s why it becomes highly important to block and filter out this kind of content from search results especially from our kids, who are completely naive and immature.

Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers worldwide, and is used by 64% of total internet users. However, it doesn’t offer any default safe search functionality. Still, there are a couple of ways that safe search functionality can be turned on at it. One of the best ways is adding SafeSearchEngine.com Google Chrome browser extension.
