FamilyAtlas browser extension · early access

Guidance in the browser, with nothing hidden from your child.

The FamilyAtlas extension goes on your child’s computer, in Chrome or Edge. It shows you the pages opened and the YouTube videos watched in that browser, stops fake and dangerous sites with a warning written for children, and always lets your child see that it is on.

Join early access

Early access: not listed in the Chrome Web Store yet. Every screen on this page is a real capture of the extension.

What you see in the FamilyAtlas app

Pages and their titles

The addresses opened in that browser, with page titles and times, so a conversation can start from something specific.

YouTube in the browser

Which videos were watched on YouTube in that browser. The YouTube app on a phone is a different source.

Searches, without the words

That a search happened, on which engine and when. Search words are not stored on FamilyAtlas’s servers; with the FamilyAtlas desktop agent (preview) they are checked on the computer, and only a possible safety concern reaches parents, end-to-end encrypted.

Fake and dangerous sites stopped

The same engine as FamilyAtlas Guard: look-alike bank, shop and game sites and known phishing addresses are blocked with child wording, and a block has no way past.

Your site rules and SafeSearch

Once website access is allowed in the extension, it applies the sites you have blocked by name and supported SafeSearch settings.

Always visible to your child

The toolbar badge says ON, OFF or ! and the window says in one sentence what is being collected. What can be shared is listed before linking.

Screens your child actually sees

No hidden mode: the extension explains itself in the same friendly style as the rest of FamilyAtlas.

Before linking

The setup page lists what this browser can share, and what stays private, before the pairing button.

The extension’s toolbar window saying it is not linked and nothing is being collected

One click on the toolbar

The window says whether the browser is linked and what is being collected right now.

The child warning: FamilyAtlas stopped this page, a site that appears to imitate PayPal, with a Take me to safety button and no way past

A warning a child understands

Clear words, one safe button, and “ask a parent to check it with you” instead of a way past.

Privacy

Only what helps a conversation leaves the computer.

  • Addresses are cleaned before they leave: an ordinary page keeps no query string, passwords and sign-in tokens in links are removed, and a chat site keeps only the platform and the time.
  • It never reads what is typed into forms, and it does not touch the page’s cookies or storage.
  • Page checking, which judges a page by its words, is off unless the family switches it on.

Setting it up

  1. Install the extension in Chrome or Edge on your child’s computer.
  2. Press “Get a code” on its setup page.
  3. In the FamilyAtlas app, open menu > Devices > Add a device, choose your child and scan the code.
Honest limits

It covers one browser, and says so.

The extension covers Chrome or Edge where it is installed. It does not see a phone’s browsing, the YouTube app, other browsers or other apps, and it does not filter by category or set time limits. On a computer your child administers, an extension can be removed; the app shows when the browser stops checking in.

Company names appear only as examples of what scammers imitate. FamilyAtlas is not affiliated with them.
