Kindred - Parental Control for Web Content
Kindred is a parental control extension for Chrome that aims to create a safe online environment for families. With Kindred, parents can limit their children's web access by blocking websites outside of their approved library. This ensures that children only have access to content that has been deemed appropriate by their parents.
One of the standout features of Kindred is its ability to provide a safe YouTube experience for children. It allows parents to give their children access to YouTube videos or entire channels without the distracting and often inappropriate recommendations or comments.
In addition to its parental control features, Kindred also offers a private social network exclusively for families. This allows family members to interact and share content in a secure environment.
Kindred replaces the new tab page with an easy-to-navigate library of content specifically curated for children. This eliminates the need for young kids to use search engines, which may not be suitable for their age.
The extension also offers quick sharing capabilities, making it easy for parents to give their children access to content with just one action. By adding content to a child's library, it becomes instantly accessible to them.
Kindred also provides an "Explore" feature, allowing users to discover new content that is suitable for them. Users can subscribe to content published by other users or their friends.
Overall, Kindred is a free extension with no ads that prioritizes privacy. It offers a range of features to help parents create a safe online environment for their children. Kindred is still in beta, but it shows promise in providing a comprehensive parental control solution.
