Safe Browser – Website Filtering Controls

Manage website access in Chrome using configurable website filtering and browsing controls.

Safe Browser is a browser extension that allows an account holder to manage access to websites and categories of online content. It can be used on shared devices, family devices, or personal computers to help limit access to selected websites and reduce distractions.

The extension applies filtering rules to website requests made within the browser. These rules determine whether a website should be allowed or blocked based on configured settings.

How Website Filtering Works

When a website is requested in the browser, the extension checks the website’s domain name against filtering rules associated with the account.

The filtering system may evaluate domains using:

Domain classification databases that group websites into categories (such as adult content, social media, gaming, etc.)

Default filtering rules provided by the service

Custom allowlists/whitelist and blocklists/blacklist created by the user

Account-specific filtering settings

If a website matches a blocked category or appears in a blocklist, the extension may prevent access to that website within the browser.

Filtering rules are applied only to web requests made through the browser where the extension is active.

Free Version

The free version of Safe Browser includes basic website filtering using default category rules.

Default filtering rules may block access to certain website categories commonly restricted in browsing environments. These default rules are predefined and may not be customized in the free version.

The free version is intended to provide basic filtering functionality using preset category-based rules.

Premium Version

The premium version unlocks additional configuration options that allow the account holder to customize how filtering rules are applied.

Premium features may include:

Custom allowlists and blocklists for specific websites or domains

Ability to adjust category filtering rules

Intended Uses

Safe Browser can be used in different situations, including:

Managing browsing access on shared household devices

Limiting access to inappropriate/distracting websites during work or study time

Supporting personal productivity and digital discipline

Important Limitations

Website filtering systems rely on automated domain classification and rule-based filtering.

Because of this:

Some websites may not be correctly categorized

Newly created websites may not yet be classified

Some websites may bypass filtering through technical methods

Filtering applies only within the browser where the extension is active

No filtering system can guarantee that all unwanted or inappropriate content will be blocked

Users should periodically review their filtering settings to ensure they meet their needs.

Privacy and Data Handling

To apply filtering rules, the extension may process limited technical information necessary to evaluate website requests.

This may include:

Website domain names requested by the browser

Account configuration identifiers used to apply filtering rules

Device identifiers associated with the configured account

This information is used solely to operate the filtering system and apply configured rules.

The extension does not analyze the full content of web pages and does not read personal messages, emails, or documents.

Users should review the Privacy Policy for detailed information about data handling practices.

Transparency Statement

Safe Browser provides tools that allow users to configure website filtering and browsing controls. The effectiveness of filtering depends on the accuracy of website classification systems and the configuration of filtering rules. The extension provides tools to help manage and guide online browsing, but no technology can block 100% of unwanted or inappropriate content. Users installing the extension should continue to supervise device use and discuss responsible browsing practices with the intended user of the device.

Users remain responsible for determining appropriate browsing settings for their devices.
