Tumblr has been around for a while and it is one of the most popular microblogging sites on the Web. There are a lot of things on their pages, that we might want to see and some content that we might not want to see, such as content that has a sensitive, or adult nature.
Recently Tumblr has enabled their safe mode to help people block the display of sensitive content on the site. This is to help people search through the wide range of content without having to worry about what they are viewing, especially when it might not be an ideal environment (the workplace).
But sometimes, you might want to see the full content that Tumblr has, and that’s when knowing how to disable safe mode in Tumblr really comes in handy.
Today we will share with you everything you need to know about disabling the safe mode to browse as much content as you wish to look for.
What’s safe mode?
Like we said earlier, safe mode helps you to filter the content that you might see on a website or on a webpage. So with the help of safe mode, you can control the visibility of such sensitive content on a particular website or webpage. Enabling safe mode would help you to clear such sensitive contents from your search results or dashboard.
You might be wondering what exactly is this sensitive content that we are talking about? Is it the explicit content that some members of the Tumblr community might have shared with the rest. These content could be anything like nudity, pornographic pictures, etc. Some of you might be completely okay with it but some might find it disturbing.
