How do I set up effective Parental Controls on Google Chrome for my child?

[Júlia]

Chrome has options like SafeSearch and supervised accounts but I’m confused on which settings are best. I’m facing issues with some sites still loading and need better guidance.

• Create a child Google Account using Google Family Link.
• Sign your child into Chrome with that account.
• In Family Link, turn on SafeSearch and website filters.
• Enable YouTube Restricted Mode and monitor browsing activity.

To set up parental controls on Google Chrome, create a supervised child account using Google Family Link. This lets parents manage screen time, approve app downloads, and block inappropriate websites. Enable SafeSearch to filter explicit results and review browsing activity regularly. You can also set site restrictions and device usage limits to help keep your child’s online experience safer.
