YouTube video hosting offers a lot of interesting and useful information, but at the same time, it contains materials that are better for children not to see. To protect them, as well as to protect themselves from unwanted videos, there is a function prohibiting the showing of 18+ videos, videos containing violent scenes and other materials.
But there are times when it becomes unnecessary. So how to disable the safe mode "YouTube"? To do this, just scroll any page of the site to the very bottom, click the "Security" button and select "Off." If such a button is not found, then this means that the user is not authorized on the site and, accordingly, the function protecting from inappropriate content is not used.
Safe Mode Lock
If protection from unwanted videos is turned on by parents so that the child does not have access to them, then you should know about the useful features of this function. Young children may not even guess how to turn off safe mode, but teenagers will quickly realize that something is hiding from them and will certainly return the settings to their original state.
Therefore, you need to click on the link “Lock safe mode in this browser” and enter the password for your Google account. After such actions, no user who does not know the code will be able to disable the protective function. This allows you to protect the child not only from the forbidden video, but also from materials available through the Google search engine. The mode works even after leaving the account.
There is also a minus - it will not be possible to completely protect against inappropriate content, because only those videos that are marked by users as inappropriate are not shown.
Using Security Mode on Android
Most Windows users are aware of the existence of a safe mode that allows you to boot the operating system with minimal settings for troubleshooting. Only few are aware of the existence of the same mode on Android. The function helps when the device freezes due to the many installed applications, since it only launches system programs.
But what to do if you no longer need the safe Android mode? How to disable this feature? There are 4 ways:
- Remove the battery from the device for half a minute, then insert it back and load the system.
- Restart Android and, when turned on, hold down the Home button. The system will start in standard mode.
- The third method differs from the second only in that you need to press the button responsible for increasing the volume.
- If the actions described earlier did not work, then the volume down key is used.
Before disabling safe mode, the system is checked for the presence of not only unnecessary programs, but also files that can harm the device.
Enabling Security Mode on Android
Noticing the slow operation of the device or its freezing, you can run only system applications to fix problems. To do this, the shutdown button is pressed, after which a special window appears. It has buttons to launch flight mode, mute and power. When you click on the last one and hold it in a few seconds, the "Go to safe mode" window appears. The system will reboot and the enabled function will be reported in the lower left corner.
But this works if Android 4.1 is used. Older versions do not have the above features, and users have absolutely no idea how to disable safe mode. In this case, the volume up and down keys are clamped simultaneously (when the system is turned on after the manufacturer’s logo has appeared).
Firefox in security mode
Enabling safe mode in Firefox allows you to disable applications and themes that were previously installed and are a source of problems with the browser. If the program is already running, then the transition to safe mode is carried out by clicking on the "Help" tab, which is located in the main menu. There is available the function "Restart with disabled add-ons." Its activation will restart Firefox. Before disabling safe mode, you should make sure to fix the problems.
If the browser is not running or does not open at all, you need to click on it while pressing Shift, after which the "Continue in safe mode" window appears. The third way to enable safe mode is as follows: in the seventh version of Windows you need to open "Start" and enter firefox-safe-mode in the search bar, then press the enter key. Performing these steps should result in a window for switching to security mode.
Exiting Safe Mode in Browser
By enabling the above function, the user loses many of the advantages available in the Firefox browser. How to disable safe mode in this program? Just close all the windows and start the web browser again.
