SafeSearch On

This extension forces a google image or video search to always use SafeSearch, even when using incognito mode.

What is SafeSearch On?

'SafeSearch On' is a Google Chrome extension that provides a safer browsing experience by imposing the use of SafeSearch in Google image and video searches. Contrary to the general settings, this add-on enforces SafeSearch even when in incognito mode. This eliminates the loophole of bypassing SafeSearch, making it an excellent tool, particularly for ensuring a secure online environment for children.

Like others have said it is currently unusable at all with the too many redirects error. Mine works for about 2 minutes when turning it on but then just breaks after giving redirect errors for anything that is searched!
