About our extension

Safe Browsing is a Microsoft Edge browser extension that provides you a safe searching experience by turning on the SafeSearch mode in your favourite search engines. Whether you are using Safe Browsing to search at work with colleagues, at home with children, or in an Internet cafe just by yourself, our extension helps you enforce filtering of explicit and hazardous adult content from your search results.

It is important to know that Safe Browsing is not 100% bulletproof and SafeSearch of popular search engines cannot catch everything.
