Mac OS 11.6.7. When I open a private window and do a search, the safe search setting is “moderate”. I change it to “off” but the next time I open a private window it is back to “moderate”. Is there a way to keep it at “off”. This does not happen in a regular non private window. Is it because since it is a private window, no settings are saved and everything reverts back to default settings? This doesn’t make sense to me especially with a private window. I would think the default setting for safe search in a private window would be “off”. Thanks
@jmilt7 Hi and a belated welcome to the community. AFAIK this is working as intended. I find it a pain too. Besides setting safe search to strict, I always have to reset the “Anonymous local results” (disabled) and “Open links in new tab” (enabled) settings every time I use a new private window. If there is a way to set these permanently I haven’t figured it out!

Thanks for the response. I had a feeling that it is how you describe it. Which makes absolutely no sense to me. Why have safe search set to anything but “off” in a private window? Anyway, thanks again and I will try to follow up on your suggestion.
