User reviews
Does not force safe search on www.dogpile.com like it says it does.

This extension has no options to disable Youtube Restricted Mode. It's getting really annoying.
by Igor Arnautovic Igor Arnautovic, 2021-10-27

This makes for a bad YouTube experience. It forces YouTube to use 'strict' restricted mode - thus a significant amount of videos are disabled. Comments are disabled under this level too. It should instead use 'moderate'-level restricted mode.
