Know about YouTube Restricted Mode
YouTube has introduced the Restricted Mode to limit the type of content you watch on the app or web platform. It will block offensive and harmful video content from appearing in your searches. So, your children will not be able to see the mature content. However, the disclaimer in the settings shows that there is no 100% accuracy in the video filter.
The Restricted Mode is mainly useful if it is a public network of any educational institute or school. The feature ensures that students or other underage users will not use the network to view adult content.
However, some people claim that they find an error message when they try to deactivate the mode. Why does not this problem appear? What are the main solutions for this issue? Â
Why are you unable to turn off YouTube Restricted Mode?
Only the YouTube account administrator will be able to disable the mode. If you are not so, you have to contact the administrator to keep the mode turned off.
The problem may also happen because of the network block (on parental-controlled or school computers). In this case, you have to use a proxy site to turn the restricted mode off.
Resolving the problem- YouTube Restricted Mode cannot be turned off
There are some ways to deal with the issues.
Check restriction settings in your account
If you use a YouTube account from the network of any public institution (such as a public library, school, or college), it will cause an issue. The main authority might have turned on the restriction. So, you cannot do anything on your own.
Sometimes, a Family Link App is linked to the user’s Google Account. In this case, only parents can manage the account and turn on/off the mode. Contact the main account holder or account manager to switch off the mode.Â

Open Google Chrome and click on 3-dot option. Choose the Settings where you will find an option for removing the cache.
Remove browser add-ons
You might have installed some new add-ons in your web browser. So, did you face the issue after installing them? If so, you should remove or disable those add-ons to solve your problem.
- Click on the extension’s icon.
- Select the 3 dots close to the add-on to be disabled

Try out with a proxy website
Free proxy websites help you avoid restrictions on your internet. For instance, ProxFree and ScrapingAnt are some popular proxy sites. If these sites do not work, you can just type free online proxy. Research the proxy before providing personal details.
Locate the search bar in the proxy page and access the site within the proxy page. So, enter the YouTube URL into the search to open the video platform using the proxy server.
Some proxy websites have extra search options (like the server location). You may alter them before choosing your site.
For instance, you may adjust the server location based on your current location to view some videos available only in your country (it is not related to YouTube Restricted Mode).
Restart the mobile

But, if you face issues while disabling the option, it indicates some technical issues. There are various reasons for not being able to turn on the Restricted Mode.Â
The Zinc Oxide Type Surge Arrester is the latest advanced over-voltage protector for distribution line and power stationdevice. Incorporated with zinc oxide and other metal oxide as the core resistor disc, the volt-ampere characteristics and thethrough-current capability of the resistor disc are improved drastically compared with the conventional SiC type surge arrester.
Under nominal operating voltage, the current through the surge arrester is only about micro-ampere grade. When the surgearrester experiences an over-voltage, the resistor disc with excellent non-inear characteristics will increase the curent throughthe surge arrester to several thousand amperes instantaneously, The surge arrester is in a conducting state and then will releasethe over-voltage energy to the earth and thereby protects power distribution / transmission device against the impact of over voltage.
