  🛡️ Chrome Parental Control - The Solution We Needed
  
  As parents, we struggled to find a suitable solution to limit and monitor our child's browsing on Chromebook and PC. Major commercial tools like Qustodio, Norton Family, and others either didn't work properly with Chrome and Edge, had confusing interfaces, or were too expensive long term.
  
  We were desperate for a solution. So we created one ourselves — a comprehensive Chromium extension that actually works. Try everything on the free tier, then unlock full capacity with Premium (£19/year).
  
  Now we're sharing it with other parents who face the same challenges we did.
  
  🌐 BROWSERS & DEVICES (read this first)
  
  • Child device — the extension installs in Chromium-based browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and others that support Chrome Web Store extensions. Use it on Chromebooks, Windows PCs, Macs, or Linux. It does not run as a native extension in Firefox or Safari.
  
  • Parent phone or computer — optional features that use our website (for example the parent activity monitor) open like any normal webpage. Use Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, or Edge on iPhone, Android, or desktop—no extension required on the parent’s device.
  
  ✨ KEY FEATURES:
  
  🚫 Website Blocking
  Block any website instantly. Social media, games, inappropriate content - you control what your child can access. Add unlimited sites with premium version.
  
  ⏰ Time Management
  Set daily time limits. When time is up, internet access is automatically blocked. Perfect for homework and bedtime. Premium version includes per-site time limits.
  
  📅 Schedule Control
  Allow internet only during specific hours. Try schedules on the free tier; Premium removes limits for larger rule sets and unlimited blocking/time.
  
  📊 Activity Monitoring
  See exactly where your child goes online. Complete activity logs with timestamps. Track visits, blocked attempts, and time spent on each site.
  
  📱 Mobile Control
  Manage settings from your phone. Included on the free tier with limits; Premium unlocks full mobile admin alongside unlimited desktop limits.
  
  🔒 Secure & Private
  All data stored locally on your device. Password-protected admin panel. No external tracking or analytics. Your child's privacy and your control, balanced perfectly.
  
  💰 PRICING:
  
  Free Version (Chrome Web Store):
  - Same feature types as Premium (blocking, schedules, mobile admin) with generous free limits — e.g. 10 sites, 4 hours/day, last 100 activity entries
  - No payment required — use this to test before subscribing
  - Subscription fees are non-refundable (see terms on our site)
  
  Premium Version (£19 per year, GBP):
  - Unlimited website blocking
  - Unlimited daily time and per-site time limits
  - Full schedules and mobile admin without free-tier caps
  - Larger activity history
  - Annual subscription via Stripe (cancel renewal anytime; access continues until period end)
  - Updates and email support while subscribed
  - Works on up to 3 devices (personal/family use only)
  
  🎯 PERFECT FOR:
  - Parents managing Chromebook access
  - Families needing simple, effective controls
  - Anyone tired of expensive big-brand yearly plans
  - School-managed Chromebooks (if extensions allowed)
  - Parents who want simple yearly pricing (£19) with a real free trial tier

  3. If you need unlimited capacity, subscribe to Premium (£19/year on our website)

  5. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your child is safer online
