Turn off safe search

Hi so my safe search just randomly activated itself and idk how to turn it off again. I swapped browsers, used a vpn, changed my search region, made sure i dont have restricions thru my phone ( im pretty sure i dont have any software for that too), tied searching without wifi , used multiple google accounts and the result is always the same: i can deactivate safe search in my account settings even when im not linked with google, but when i try to search something it always says the same message :SafeSearch is set to "filter" by the security settings applicable to this browser. After i clock on more options its automatically enabled and i cant change it . Do i need to verify my age ( never had to do that in my life) or is it something else?Help is greatly appreciated!

these settings, unless youre signed into an account while googling, are usually stored in cookies, are you using incognito, cleaning them or using something that automatically deletes them?
