Extension summary

This extension is designed for both Chrome browser users and Chrome OS users. Wherever you are surfing the internet, with whomever you are sharing the laptop, we aim to provide you a safe internet browsing experience with explicit and hazardous adult content filtered out from your search feed.

After you add this extension to your browser, the Safe Search filter is turned “ON” to protect your browsing experience as default. If you want to turn it off, you can go to the Settings section of the extension and make the change at any time you need.

Providing you a clean feed without adult content is our goal, but you should know that no filter is not 100% bulletproof. You might still be exposed to unsafe content when the filter is working.

Permissions used and reasons:

  1. Access to “contextMenus”. We require this permission to add items to the drop-down menu of the extension’s icon in order to provide a better user experience.
  2. Access to “webRequest”, “webRequestBlocking”, and “webNavigation”. These permissions allow us to use our search domain safesearchnow.net (powered by Yahoo) as a placeholder to turn on the SafeSearch from your address bar. In this extension, we also support Google and Bing. If you want to change your search engine, you can go to the Settings of your extension and make the change.
  3. Access to “cookies”. We require this permission to save your customized settings of this extension.
  4. Access to "<all_urls>". we require this permission to check your default search engine.
