safe-search's Issues

Extension breaks Google Docs & Google Sheets in Firefox

As of the past few weeks, Google Docs and Google Sheets will load a document but then sit with a message saying "Trying to connect..." forever. Disabling this Enforce SafeSearch extension resolves the issue.

I'm running Firefox 62.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.

4.2.0 now makes both google and duckduckgo fail to show any results

It also broke google translate. Disabling the extension immediately fixes it for me. I might as well leave it disabled if it's gonna break my browser after every other update :p

Youtube issues

Youtube comments are broken in most of videos, restraint mode
"Les commentaires de cette vidéo sont masqués, car cette dernière est en mode restreint."

And some video ask me to have a Google app account (and i'm logged in).

When I disable the extension, everything is good, I thought it was my tampermonkey messing it.

Using https://www.youtube.com.

password

no password protection so easily disabled :(

Huh?

Ur app (ext) is poorly described. The support link to GitHub has little information on it. There r no reviews. What's w all that?

Automatic Disconnect on Youtube

When I login to youtube, the panel on the right side is automatically opened and clicked to disconnect me.
I have to disable the extension to keep logged in.

Chromium Version 76.0.3809.100

Bulletproof installation Windows Chrome: easier method

I found that the following works to automatically install and disable uninstall of the extension, according to this page:
http://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=ExtensionInstallForcelist

Create this key path in the Registry Editor (regedit.exe):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ExtensionInstallForcelist\1
Maybe you need another number than 1, if you have other forced extensions.

In there, update the Default value to:

Name: Default
Type: REG_SZ
Data: fiopkogmohpinncfhneadmpkcikmgkgc;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx

No need to download Group Policies, I believe.
I couldn't get the existing instructions to work.

Please update the wiki instructions. You don't have to mention my name or id.

Please add OneSearch.com

Hello, I have left a similar request on the Firefox AddOns page to which you answered by asking how safesearch is enforced without the add on.
I tried searching with all 3 filters and compared the urls and here's what I found:
In the url of the search result, there is a vm parameter that can have 3 values. I found out that vm=r is strict, vm=i is moderate and vm=p is off.

After looking at your code I noticed that it looks like the following setting in background.js :

else if ( /search.yahoo.*\/search/.test(uri) ) {
    return _meta_add(uri, ["vm"], ["r"]);

I'm thinking that the fix is really just a duplicate of the one above but for onesearch.com.

Again, thanks for this very useful add-on!

4.3.1 makes browser console appears whenever youtube is opened

Upon starting firefox, the first time youtube is opened the browser console will open up. It will not reappear until firefox is fully closed and opened again.

It looks like it has to do with the alerts added on lines 87, 88, and 104 of addon/background.js as these were changed in commit 289cd66 but I may be wrong about this

google drive problems

When i disable the plugin, my drive loads fine, when i enable it my drive doesn't load very well. Any idea how to fix this? Maybe if there is a way to enable "exceptions" on google drive that could help.

Wiki for macOS

Hi.
I am in the process of deploying the extension on Mac with Firefox. Would you have a wiki for that too? Thank you.

No longer works on qwant

Shows moderate setting: websites but no images.

Vimeo filter should be more flexible

The Vimeo filter, as it stands right now, disables the submit button on the mature content dialog, so that the user cannot change settings.

Its chief drawback is that it does not allow the user to enforce stricter settings such as disabling sexually suggestive content, profanities, or disabling mature content all together.

The filter only hides nudity.

One more mode for youtube ?

Youtube "Under 18" mode is not really "under 18" since, as a user, I can login with a google account and just set my age to be over 18 (even if I am not really over 18). So, do you think it would be possible to add a mode which is "really" under 18. I mean it would only allow all content which is not "over 18" (it is more content than the moderate mode), and always block the "over 18" content enven when I am logged in with a faked 18+ account ?

Complete Failure in Chrome browser

No enforcement at all in Chrome browser.
P.S. First filed the bug for duckduckgo, then checked vimeo, then cross-checked on both Windows and macOS. The extension is not working at all.

Replace "please log in" text for blocked video with options link (if non-managed?)

is misleading, as the video is actually blocked by the extension.

Safe-search ignores search queries in Duckduckgo when option "GET requests" is set to Off (--> POST)

Duckduckgo has a privacy setting for using GET or POST requests, and if set to Off/POST, the safe-search add-on has no effect. This gives browser users a very simple way to circumvent the add-on.

I think it is required that the add-on works for POST requests too.

The setting is found under Other Settings > Privacy > "GET requests" (Windows) or "Requests shown in url" (Android).

Firefox: Turn off Youtube Restricted mode

Please add an option to turn of just Youtube Restricted mode. Some videos are restricted, despite being not NSFW.

Browser: Firefox
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Unit tests before deployment

URI checking at least
maybe also mock cookies

Please add Brave Search to the extension

Could you please add your extension to automatically enable Safe Search on Brave Search?

How do I install it on Microsoft Edge?

How do I get the plugin for Microsoft Edge and install it? I know that Edge is Chrome-based, but the add-on not in Microsoft Edge Store, nor on Chrome Web Store.

Browser: Microsoft Edge (Chromium?)
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Youtube Strictness not saving

The youtube setting always come back to "lenient". I save, close the module tab or close firefox, then, when I come back, the setting is still "lenient".
(By the way, I do not understant what is lenient)

Add other websites

Could you please add dailymotion.com ? Thank you!

Allow Youtube configuration

Youtube has several settings: very strict, moderate, no adult content only. Very strict is little children-content only. Moderate blocks "offensive" content like some political speech. Then, YouTube requires a login for adult content. This should be blocked at least. There should be a switch to choose between these three modes. See also the review by cucumber at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sas/reviews/.

Please add yandex.ru

Windows, Chrome, Qwant: user can override safesearch by manupilating url

When using Chrome 64-bit on Windows, and using qwant.com, the user can override safe search by manupilating the url.
Adding "&safesearch=0" to the url, it displays unsafe results.

For other browsers and search engines, the extension checks the url; at least for Windows, Firefox&chrome, and duckduckgo. Please do something similar for chrome+qwant.

How to preset settings?

I'm installing in my organization your wonderful addon, on FireFox 60 ESR.

I wan to 'preset' for users the youtube strictness level, but seems that option are not saved on prefs (about:preferences) and so i don't know how to preset it via '.js' prefs file.

Can yiu give me some hint? Thanks.

Option to whitelist websites / disable youtube filter

It would be useful if one could whitelist websites, such as YouTube.
My problem with the YT filter is that it sometimes blocks the comments section while the video can normally play.
Using the <18 filter option is not a choice if I want to keep subscriptions working.

Why is safe search not availabe on chrome web store anymore? Do you plan to release it there? How can I help?

Hi,

I really like this extension. I used to use it on Firefox. But, now, I need to use Chrome (for professional reasons).

Do you plan on packaging it for Chrome Web Store? Is there anything I could do to help? What is blocking you?

Thanks

Google search page loads twice on Chrome

When the extension is enabled, the google result page for a search term appears to load twice. It looks like the extension triggers a postback right after the page is loaded. The behavior can easily be observed by repeating several searches and toggling the extension on and off for comparison.
I can reproduce this on the latest version of Chrome browser and Safe Search version 5.

Remove same param from uri (solution included)

In the function _add_if_neccesary there is a to do:
// todo: should also remove same param, (and maybe add & or ? depending)
This function solves the to do (tested in Firefox Quantum 62.0.3 (64 bit), duckduckgo).
function _add_or_replace(uri, par, val) {
var f = '((\\?)' + par + '=[^&]+&|&' + par + '=[^&]+)';
var t = uri.replace(new RegExp(f, 'gi'), '\$2');
return t + '&' + par + '=' + val;
}
It first sets up a regular expression f, then replaces the par=val with nothing, effectively removing the parameter. Then it adds the required par=val.
The regular expression matches

either "par=val&" directly after the question mark: (\?)' + par + '=[^&]+&
or "par=val" after an ampersand: &' + par + '=[^&]+

The replace function pastes back the question mark (\$2) if the first case was matched.
Hope this helps!

Wiki "Bulletproof installation" has some issues

In the Wiki, the topic "Bulletproof installation" has some issues, certainly for Firefox 66.0.5 64-bit on Windows.

The url to the xpi must be updated with every release :-( I guess this applies to every OS.
The policies.json file has a syntax error: the last comma "," should be removed (after the id).
It could be added that on Windows 10, the directory "distribution" must be located in the same directory where the Firefox executable is located, so the full file path is probably
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\policies.json
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\policies.json
It could be added that one can check if the policy is active, by going to "about:policies".

For version 4.7.3 of the add-on, policies.json should be as follows:

{
  "policies": {
    "Extensions": {
      "Install": [
        "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/2337765/enforce_safesearch-4.7.3-an+fx.xpi"
      ],
      "Locked": [
        "{b52acdad-e4a6-44da-afc9-9bd22572db99}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

It used to work for DuckDuckGo, but now when I go and search for adult content, safe search is not forced at 'Strict', and it allows me to temporarily or permanently disable safe search.

I have tried removing / rebooting / adding the extension back but to no avail
