FreeTube implements a parental control feature by passing enable_safety_mode=true to the innertube.create API. https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/pull/1456/files https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/blob/6bb2086875d089f47c5f86ce94db9e32cb051319/README.md#L128

I'm not sure of the differences between this API option and the DNS-based filtering.
