Man, Google is good. Safe Search is an option that can be modified by anyone either to strict filtering or no filtering of search results at all. Google has now implemented the Lock feature which does not allow people to modify the filter option.
The user can use the Safe Search Lock option which will stop any other user from modifying it. Whats more, on every page you will be able to see some colored balls on the top right side of the page just to make sure everything is OK with the kids surfing the net.
But however there are some drawbacks. Google places a cookie in the computer system to lock Safe Search. So it works only in one operating system and the particular browser.
I could simply open an alternative browser and start browsing which obviously means that the Safe Search Lock can only be done in a single browser.
But its a start to help all those worried parents there. Google has done good. Will have to wait for the better.
