Bing's Safesearch can't be turned off at all

Post by Lilac »

The tab in the images and video search pages doesn't work even if bing.com is not blocked. If you click it it will not give you the drop-down menu.

The settings page for Bing that lets you turn off safesearch also has no effect.

That's the only script that shows up on the pages, too. So, it seems that one has to disable NoScript entirely for Bing in order to turn off its safesearch which is hardly ideal.

Also, the fact that only bing.com shows up in the Noscript menu as something that can be trusted — yet Bing has found some way to disable turning off Safesearch — there must be some sort of new stealth script tech to let them be able to do this, right?

I figured it out.

It happens when the IPFlood extension is enabled.

Bing image search problems continue

I thought I had resolved the problem with Safesearch not being able to be turned off by disabling the IPflood extension but today I tried using Bing image search and not only can I not turn off Safesearch, I can't get the images to act properly. They blink if you mouse over them. None of the tabs in the Bing interface will open.

There is a problem with Bing and Noscript.

The tabs on the image search (assuming you mean "Image size", "Color", etc) worked OK for me with bing.com whitelisted.

I don't use Bing myself, so I can't really comment on SafeSearch.

And if you disable NoScript, what happens?
