How to Setup Set Up Parental Controls on Google Chrome

It is impossible for anybody born in today’s world to be divorced from the internet. From the time that a child becomes sentient, they can acquire access to the internet and can quickly also learn how to use it. However, there are several things on the World Wide Web that you may want your child to be slightly more mature before they have to tackle.

Whether it is pornography or influences of another kind that you want to protect your child from, you cannot stop them from using the internet. What you can do, however, is set Google Chrome Parental Control so that you can manage and monitor what your kids have access to online. The following is a brief primer on how you can do this.

The methods that have been described are best used in Chromebook, though there are ways to do this in all other devices. The only worry of setting parental restrictions in Windows, Mac or Linux is that the supervised user still has the option of using another web browser.

They may stop using Chrome, but they will still have access to Safari or Internet Explorer and there is technically no way to stop them from doing that. With a Chromebook, you can restrict a supervised user only to their profile when they are browsing the internet.

Nevertheless, while parental controls are not watertight, something is certainly better than nothing. Even the minimal monitoring you can do and the control you can exert can help protect your child from obscene influences at an impressionable age.

No parent likes to snoop in on their child’s computer and spy on what they are doing, but at times this is a necessary evil. With these controls, however, you can be open about the restrictions you are setting and your child will be made aware of the boundaries that have been set for them.
