In case of the Internet, parental control comes with content filter, age restriction, the time limit to provide parents a control over their children.
Every content on the Internet is not made for children, but they can’t understand that and surf everywhere. You can use chrome parental controls, to protect them from this type of contents. Today, I am going to discuss about these topics to make your Chrome as a safe browser for your children.
Set Parental Controls on Google Search
There is no doubt, that Google is the most popular search engine. It is the greatest source to research and learn about various topics. In search, there is no control. Google shows every information around the world, and it may be not for your child.
To prevent Google from showing these types of information, you can set a safe search filter on it. Let’s know how to do it?
Visit the Safe Search Page:
First, you need to go Search Settings page by entering www.google.com/preferences on your browser.
Active Safe Search:
-
- In the Settings page, tick on “Filter explicit results” option and then click on “Lock SafeSearch” link.
-
- It’ll take you in a new page, where you have to login with your Gmail account. After successful login, click on “Lock SafeSearch” to activate safe search. It’ll take few seconds to proceed.
How to Test Safe Search?
Now search anything on Google. You’ll see a message, that “SafeSearch locked” in the right-side of the screen.
