Google Rolls Out Parental Control Feature For Chrome
Google has reportedly introduced parental
control to its Chrome web browser allowing parents to monitor and control the
browsing behaviour of their children. The feature called 'supervised users',
lets 'managers' or parents to set up profiles of the people they want to
monitor. According to the BBC, the feature is available on Windows, Mac and
Linux OS lets managers view the supervised users' browsing history, block
specific sites, and approve access requests. Google said that the default
setting is to allow a newly created supervised user to view all websites and
managers have to specify what sites they want to block. The feature
automatically activates SafeSearch for supervised users, to refrain adult
content from showing up in the web searches. The report said that the move
comes amidst growing concerns over inappropriate content children can be
exposed to online including graphic violence for which Facebook has been the
recent to receive the flak.
