Google Chrome 'Safe Search' lodked 'on' - can't turn it to 'off'
<strong>Hi all<br><br>I'm still running <u>Windows 7 (64-bit) Home Premium</u> on my desktop computer and would like to keep it that way. <br>
I've never had any problem using Google Chrome browser until a couple of days ago. <br><br>However, despite working perfectly before all this, it's now showing <u>'Safe Search On'</u> and I can't find a way to turn it 'off'. <br><br>I've not introduced any new software whatsoever and everything else on the computer works perfectly.<br><br>Changing Safe Search to 'off' used to be possible via Settings but that option to turn off content filtering no longer seems to exist. <br>
All information online indicates this problem with Safe Search staying 'on' has existed for a long time.<br>
I've followed all the 'advice' online but find you're looped back to the same 'locked' situation no matter what you do.<br><br>What I've done so far: <br>1. Followed online 'advice' from Google<br>2. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling Googe fresh.<br>3. Tried 'System Restore' to earlier date <br><br>No luck with any of these moves.<br><br>Now, I know Google has said it was stopping support for Windows 7 in July 2021, but, because of the pandemic, this has been extended to January 2022. <br><br>What I've done so far: <br>1. Followed online 'advice' from Google<br>2. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling Googe fresh.<br>3. Tried 'System Restore' to earlier date No luck.<br><br>I'm just wondering if in fact Google has jumped the gun on its support for Win7.<br><br> Has anyone else had this problem or started to experience it and if so, is there a solution?<br>
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on the matter.<br>
Many thanks</strong><br>
