User reviews

i got this extension for my son to keep him safe from certain types of underage websites. i really like the pop up that comes up its is a helpful friendly reminder why kids should visit certain websites. however, for me i also has some issues blocking non dangerous non underage websites. i will most like have to turn it off to access some websites i know has been incorrectly blocked. while i really like this extension comparing to others similar Block sites extensions. i think it would be nice to edit or have password protected option for parents to allow white list good websites that are approved. And, based on the user manual on website. 8. Choose Password Protection "Yes" and fill in your desirable password into "Password" field. 9. Press "Save" button. I didn't see that option when I first download this extension. I don't know how to access the options page.

Only blocker that actually seems to work. And whatever it misses you can block or allow.
