[rant about SafeSearch being automatic]
Okay, never mind, my knowledge is outdated... by a few years. However, adding "&safe=active" to the previously proposed URL will suffice.And I say once again: It's not safe. Not completely.
*sigh* Well, halfhearted counterargument coming right up.
And I too repeat something I have stressed multiple times: It's just as safe as other features of Scratch are. You see a project with a bad sprite/background/whatever, then you report it, right? The same thing applies to projects with inappropriate links to Google searches. I understand that there are valid reasons why the block should not be implemented, but this is not one of them. Give this one a rest.
*sigh* ST controls Scratch, not Google. I will if you will.

It would be most appreciated if you would explain how that is supposed to disprove my argument.
And I had almost forgotten it when you just had to start it going again. So no, it's I will, if you will.

Ok, then.

Re: New blocks in scratch
What if somebody forces you to search something? It should at LEAST ask if you want to search before it actually searches.

Re: New blocks in scratch
ok you all are arguing pointless speculation.
this is neither dangerous nor useful. whatever happened to links in the project notes? why can't people search stuff on google themselves? when would this ever be useful. there are easy, easy work-arounds. projects don't need links because they can go elsewhere!

I agree with you. That is like searching google itself. There are hardly ever inappropriate results even with it off.
