    Can I use SafeSearch with chrome on a shared computer to block certain websites from appearing in search results? Or loading in the browser.

    Just use incognito mode when, ahem, "browsing"

    You could prevent access to a site by adding it to the hosts file, but this would not prevent it appearing in search results

    Not what I was asking.

    That might work, but exactly the answer I was hoping for.

    If you have router access you should be able to blacklist sites.

    Basically "parental controls".

    E.G. with Virgin Media: https://www.virginmedia.ie/broadband/learn-about-broadband/parentalcontrols/

    Maybe I'm missing something here but you haven't asked to block access to a website, just prevent any evidence of it being looked at. Surely Incognito mode will work for that?

    Your confusing search history with search results. I don't want the browser to recommend certain sites.
