Permanently lock Safe-Search in the ON position

Hiya and welcome to Tech Support Guy

Have you seen this:

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186669

And this section:

Map google domains to forcesafesearch.google.com

You may want to keep a copy of the hosts file as well, just save it to your documents, just in case you ever need to amend things.

Thanks

I had found a way, but it involved editing the registry, and from what I gather, there is no registry in a Mac

In the meantime, whilst I look, can you tell me the name of the extension you have found. If you can get a screenshot, that would be great, but if not, that's okay.

Good evening,

- The name of the extension is "force Safe Search" and I downloaded it from the Chrome web store here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/force-safe-search/langadckdfefkcnjfmfnfeckafibfkji

- I remember a while back deleting Incognito Mode from my browser. I followed the instructions here:
https://www.technipages.com/chrome-disable-incognito-mode

- Perhaps it is possible to remove the safe-search toggle through similar ways.

Thank you again for dedicating your personal time towards this. To give you more background about myself, I am trying to remove pornography from my life. It's a bad habit I have been trying to kick for a while, but because of how easily accessible that stuff is, it's been hard keeping myself from relapsing. I downloaded a program called Cold Turkey which allows me to block websites. Once a block is active, the program can't be uninstalled or turned off (at least not in any ways I am aware of). Unfortunately, porn is too ubiquitous on the internet for me to outright block all of it. Google safe-search does really well at blocking all of it from what I can tell. Also using the Cold Turkey program, I have blocked every other internet search engine except Google. The issue is, there is nothing keeping me from disabling Google's safe-search. I know I am not alone in the battle to overcome porn addiction. I think there need to be more precautions taken to make accessing internet porn more difficult. I can only imagine how many young children expose themselves to internet porn. I certainly did when I was young, and engaging with something like that at such a young age is not healthy.

Regards,

Will
