Forcing Google Safe Search at Home


Question from a parent this week about forcing Google's Safe Search and whether there's a way to do that on a home computer:

Here are the steps to turn on Google's safe search and force it to stay on.

The following link from Google's support site talks about a way that you can turn on Google's "Safe Search" and lock it on for your browser.  You may have to do this for each browser (i.e. firefox, chrome, Internet Explorer or Safari) as well as per user account if you all use different accounts on a shared computer.

The District forces Safe Search using an Internet Safety appliance called Barracuda Web Filter, which does this for all students and staff automatically.
