A lightweight Chrome extension that blocks harmful websites, enforces schedules, and locks settings with a parent password. No monthly fees. No app to install.
KidsGuard is purpose-built for parental control — not self-discipline apps repurposed for kids.
Block specific harmful sites, or flip to Whitelist mode to only allow a curated set of safe sites — perfect for young children.
Create multiple active block periods and choose specific days of the week (e.g., Mon-Fri 8AM–3PM for school, and 9PM–7AM everyday for bedtime).
All settings are locked behind a parent-only password. Kids cannot modify or bypass the configuration.
Blocking works in Incognito (Private) mode too — a common bypass kids use that most extensions miss.
Block entire categories with a single toggle:
No need to manually add thousands of domains — we handle that for you.
Use *.io patterns to block entire TLDs or subdomains in one rule.
Settings are synced via your Google account — works across all your family's Chrome profiles.
Get an immediate email alert if the extension is uninstalled. Stay informed if protection is bypassed.
Deeply clean YouTube by hiding Shorts sidebar tabs, homepage shelves, and search reels. Eliminate the "scroll hole" entirely.
Visualize blocking trends with a high-fidelity bar chart showing the last 7 days of protection right in your settings.
See exactly how much protection your child is getting with a persistent counter of blocked attempts in the popup.
Click "Add to Chrome" and the extension installs instantly. No account or signup needed.
Add sites to block, configure a schedule, and lock settings with your admin password.
KidsGuard silently protects in the background. Your kids can't disable or modify it.

Read the Guide →Technically, any Chrome extension can be uninstalled unless enforced by Enterprise Policy. However, KidsGuard includes Uninstall Notifications:
Yes. KidsGuard is specifically designed to block sites in Incognito (Private) mode — a common workaround that most free extensions miss. Just make sure to enable the "Allow in Incognito" permission after installation.
Blacklist mode (free): All sites are allowed by default; you manually block specific harmful ones. Whitelist mode (Pro): All sites are blocked by default; you manually allow only the sites you approve. Whitelist mode is the safest option for young children.
KidsGuard stores all settings locally in your Chrome profile using chrome.storage.sync.
No browsing data, blocked site lists, or personal information is ever sent to our servers. Your
data stays in your Google account.
Yes. Because settings sync via your Google account, any Chrome profile signed in with the same account will automatically inherit the blocklist and scheduling rules.
KidsGuard supports *.domain.com wildcards. For example, adding
*.io will block all websites ending in .io. Adding
*.google.com will block all Google subdomains (like maps, drive, etc.) while leaving
google.com itself accessible.
