Filter Privacy and Safety Settings

Ad Blocking

Filters out many sources of online advertising. This may eliminate many (not
all) ads from websites that you visit.

Safe Search

Safe Search eliminates sexually-explicit content from search results in Google
and Bing. Currently, Circle only supports Google and Bing Safe Search, and
when it is enabled, searching on Yahoo will be unavailable.

Circle also comes equipped with several Privacy and Safety settings that allow
you to have additional control over the content that a family member

experiences.

YouTube Restricted

YouTube Restricted mode activates the restricted content mode provided by

YouTube. This mode is more restrictive than the one you might be familiar with.
If you believe it to be too restrictive, we suggest turning it off.
