   Doesn't work on private mode, even after changing it in the settings... That should be the main feature of this addon...

   Good addon but it's a pain for me to use Youtube. In about:addons under options I can only select "moderate". Is there another way to lower Youtube's strictness? I saw at the github's site within the wiki that you can edit the json file. And I did. But I can't seem to follow from there. Can you help me? What are the next steps if I don't have Linux? Or is it not possible to do this on Windows? I tried zipping the folder, renaming it to xpi and injecting it with Nightly by also removing something in about:config about addons being signed, but it didn't work cause it said the file was corrupt.

   For some reason on my father's pc the only youtube choice is moderate. I have choices on other pc's so not sure what went wrong.

   I do not recall ever installing this addon and it hijacked every YT link I clicked on like SafeMode was turned on.

   The SafeMode feature means that the addon works as expected. (you can configure the level of youtube safe search in the options). Would it have helped if it provided some visual confirmation about it working ?

   Overall, a very good extension. Could you add https://www.onesearch.com/ to the list? edit: I think I found the answer to your question. 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. I hope this helps you. edit2: Added one star after onesearch was added. Thank you again.

   Its a great idea but it does not seem to work very well?!? I installed this extension to include private mode, and nothing seemed to happen?!? I even went so far as to restarted Firefox and still nothing happened when I visited https://xhamster4.com/photos/gallery/12786417/324655470 as a test and nothing happened, am I missing something? I will update if this is resolved. Thank You!

   This add-on only sets safe search mode for search engines. You should not have received a link to xhamster etc by google, duckduckgo, etc. To block e.g. xhamster, you could use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adultblacklist/ , which blocks known adult domains. In the case you posted above, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jsguardian/ also worked (it checks the page text). You achieve complimentary effects by using these together.

   Awesome! I love that I can still watch YouTube, but why do I have to choose "under 18" to allow restricted content? (moderate and strict block restricted videos)

    This is very good, but it keeps forgetting the setting for YouTube leniency. I'm on Firefox 64 on Ubuntu.
