"limit adult websites" doesn't enforce safe search in the in-app browser

The option "limit adult websites" enforces the safe search mode of search engines in safari but not in the in-app browser. For instance you can search for porn images via the in-app browser in Google Maps.

It's a big loop hole. Please fix it

Blocking ONLY certain websites Is there a way to only disable certain websites without blocking all „Adult Websites“? I have found that the filter often disables websites for being adult content that are actually not. It can be strange not to know if a search result is being hidden that I didn‘t personally choose to disable but an algorithm decided I should not see.

Changing web content restrictions Hi, I have an issue with the web content control under the parental control settings for my child. I have added enabled the filtering of adult content and added one web site explicitly in the “always block” list. Now, I want to remove the web site that I added to that list, but cannot find any way of doing this, while keeping the adult content filter active. Anyone that has encountered the same and found a way of solving this?

Google Safe Search permanently on I was playing around with the Screen Time restrictions and now I can't unlock the Safe Search option in Google. I get an error message that reads: You don't have permission to change your SafeSearch setting. It's locked by safety settings applied to this browser. I've unrestricted everything in Screen Time as well as in Safari preferences but nothing changes. Firefox and Chrome work fine. Any thoughts?

That is a problem with Google Maps, talk to them.
