Sorry Jimmy, I have no idea - I'm on Win 8 and Avast Secure Browser.

I can still use alternatives to find more "adult content" e.g Yahoo allows searches without a default security/safesearch setting - but as I have googlemail & YTube accounts it would be easier to be able to use google without restrictions

I think I fully understand your frustration; to me it feels a lot like a kind of American fundamentalist christian sexophobia enforced on everybody :(:(:(

You can toggle SafeSearch in Windows 10 by following these simple and easy steps mentioned below:

1) Hover the cursor to taskbar and search for Bing settings.

2) Click on the first result you see after entering the term.

3) Now a pop up screen will appear and you can easily choose your SafeSearch preference from Strict, Moderate or Off.

4) Now, whichever preference you have it will apply to Windows once you choose it.

You now know how to easily turn Safe Search on or off in Windows 10 whenever you want. ;)

I guess you also can simply add something particular adult to your search like "porn" or "naked" and it will switch off.

The big frustration is that there is an option to "switch off " safesearch ... but it never seems to actually work. Looking on the forums it seems people have been complaining about it for ages and google replies that it's been sortedX_X

Regarding the search terms it's not just the obvious words like porn - it won't return any searches for "staxus" for example

edit - Thanks Haiducii, I will give that a try :thumbs up::thumbs up:

What I meant was: staxus might not bringt the porn-results you desire but staxus + porn will.

I never imagined I would ever say these words;
"to be fair to Google"
And I'm not going to say them now. Say instead;
"to be fair to all search engines".
They default to safe for a good reason, most users do part of their searching at some time in a work or institutional environment where any trace of not-safe-for-work material will get you into big trouble. Defaulting to safe is useful to help people making silly mistakes that could take a lot of explaining away. This has nothing to do with the search engines trying to impose puritan morality on anyone, I'd rather have to spend one second turning it off than spend half an hour in the managers office.
About Google I know nothing, having not used anything except Duck Duck Go for the last seven years. Since DDG keeps no record of who you are, you need to swich off safe every morning and it stays off for the rest of the day, until you restart the browser. One second a day to press a button is a small price to pay in exchange for freedom from being spied upon.

I use startpage.com, which is a google proxy. They use the google search index but keep your IP private, and they don't put you into a google bubble (result filtering based on previous search requests). And you can create a link on the page which restores all you preferences each time you use the link, including family filter settings.
