Google is developing controls for Chrome to let parents limit their children’s Internet activity











Google has plans to introduce ‘supervised accounts’ to its Google Web browser, in a move to help parents and teachers control how children access and use the Internet.
The latest ‘canary’ (or development) version of Chrome includes an experimental version of the feature, which allows regular users to create new accounts with in-built restrictions and less privileges, Chrome has long supported accounts, which allow multiple users to run the same browser using their own settings for each session, but supervised accounts would be a further step. The feature could give parents a little more peace of mind about their kids’ online activities by limiting what they can do on shared computers and other devices.
