How to Enable SafeSearch on BlockP Chrome Extension

American parents are extremely worried about the risks of their teenagers encountering explicit content online. Because it often takes just one wrong click or a misplaced query to encounter nudity or porn, and that’s exactly why parents need to enable Safe Search on Chrome.

As the first basic layer of protection, Safe Search is a great option. It's free, and it's available easily in the settings. But it cannot be fully secure because you can use it only on the Google search engine, and it's too easy to unblock.

To solve this, the BlockP free porn blocker extension gives you a setting to enforce Safe Search. It makes Safe Search harder to turn off and uses its other porn-blocking features for robust protection.

• Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for “BlockP,” or visit the BlockP Chrome Extension page directly.

Step 2: Add Extension

Click on ‘Add extension’ in the pop-up.

Step 3: Get Started with BlockP

• A new web page will open – click on the “Get started” button at the bottom of the page.

Step 4: Sign In or Sign Up on BlockP Extension

Step 5: See How BlockP Works

Step 6: Go to the “Blocking Modes” Section

In the main BlockP dashboard, you will see the option for 3 porn-blocking modes:

1. Standard Porn Blocker: Blocks adult sites using keywords.
2. SafeSearch: Enforces SafeSearch when you use Google Search.
3. AI Blocking: This is more robust protection to block adult content using AI.

Step 7: Enable Safe Search

Slide the toggle next to the Safe Search option to enable Safe Search.

What Is SafeSearch?

Google gives its users a built-in filter for restricting explicit content with its SafeSearch feature. It is not a separate extension that you need to install to your browser but an option in the Google account settings themselves.

When you enable Safe Search on Chrome, you get three options.

1. Filter: Blocks explicit images, text, and links in search results. Google also applies this setting automatically if it detects that the user is under 18.
2. Blur: Puts a blurry overlay over the explicit image results (text and links are still shown.)
3. Off option: Displays all content.

Google Search is a good starting point for managing explicit content on your computer because it blocks explicit content but still allows relevant results. So, parents can use it to protect their children.

But Google Search has two big vulnerabilities.

It is designed to work exclusively for Google’s search engine, and it cannot moderate the content on other search engines or social media platforms.

Secondly, the settings are too easy to undo - it takes only a few clicks, and the protection is off.

Why Enable SafeSearch on Chrome?

73% of US teenagers have seen online porn, and the early age of exposure is around 10 to 12.

Among these teens, 58% have encountered porn accidentally, which means they were looking up something for study or just to read up on an interesting topic and came across explicit content.

When you consider that Chrome is the most commonly used browser in US households, securing the shared systems from porn becomes the utmost priority.

Benefits of Using BlockP SafeSearch

BlockP SafeSearch settings give you a few practical advantages.

1. Switching off the BlockP porn blocker extension’s safe search setting is harder. It exists on the BlockP dashboard, and parents can secure BlockP settings with a password.
2. BlockP SafeSearch is not a standalone feature. It works with other free porn blocker extension features like keyword-based blocking, AI-powered blocking, and social media blocking for maximum effectiveness.
3. There are no complicated steps to set up BlockP. And you also do not have to give any credit card details to sign up.
4. BlockP is a free porn blocker extension - a very cost-effective option to block adult websites on Chrome.
