If you want that you do not see any unwanted things on the internet like obscene and violent content, you can turn them off and on through the settings.
According to Wikipedia on 11th November 2009, Google introduced the ability for account holders to lock Google Web and Images Search to the Safe Search level for safe use. Once the settings are turned off, a password is required to change it. And 12, December 2012, Google removed the feature to turn off the filter entirely, requiring users to enter more specific search queries to access adult content.
What Is SafeSearch?
SafeSearch is a security feature setting available in Google Search and Images, YouTube, Bing, Yahoo, and Google Maps.

Its purpose is to create a safer and more family-friendly online experience, especially with children, in the office, or in environments where you want to avoid graphic images, nudity, violence, or other potentially offensive content.
