Force SafeSearch Extension

A lightweight, open-source chromium browser extension that automatically enables SafeSearch on major search engines — including Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, YouTube, and Brave Search.

This extension is designed to force SafeSearch parameters and redirects to prevent explicit content from appearing in search results.

I recommend making a host file and blocking browsers that do not have safesearch support.
