How can I turn off safe search

I need to turn off Safe Search for Edge and Chrome. However, now comes the issue that I can't start either browser. I can click on the icon, the browser briefly opens, then closes right away. This began yesterday afternoon after I had used Edge in the morning with no issues. After Edge started closing right away I decided to try Chrome. It worked as it should. However, it had an update and after that was installed, Chrome asked for a restart. After the restart, Chrome acted like Edge, came up on the screen and disappeared. No errors in the Windows logs either. I think that if I can get Safe Search off the browsers, maybe they'll function as they should.

 

Please, some help here as neither browser works, even after uninstalling and reinstalling them.

When you uninstall Chrome. 
Did you check the box to delete browsing data? 
Did you remove User Data?

for example: if you just have default Chrome profile
AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default(Profile)\Extensions

this is Norton Safe Search extension
