For those who use Google as a default search engine, SafeSearch filtering is already on for the signed-in users. This feature is available for search engine users who are under the age of 18 years, said the tech giant in a blog post.

However, one of the majorly used search engines will soon incorporate a new setting which will blur the explicit images if it appears in the search results, even when the SafeSearch filter is off.

Google said, "This setting will be the new default for people who don't already have the SafeSearch filter turned on, with the option to adjust settings at any time.”
