Alright alright, i KNOW YOU ADULTS ARE THINKING "this kid is just angry that he watches his YouTube shorts in the middle of the night" BUT... its trash. LIKE HORRABLE, THIS BLOCKED GOOGLE SLIDES BECAUSE IT's A Business app (during a project my *** had TO SPAM requests to my DAD who is a GASTREOLANTOLOGEST DOCTOR AT WORK because of this), BLOCKS WEBSITES JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE UNCATOGORIZED, AND MAKES YOU HAVE TO CLOSE OUT ALL TABS JUST FOR ONE TAB TO LOAD. TO TOP IT OF WITH SOME ICING ON THE CAKE, accepting the request don't even work 100% PERCENT OF THE TIME. THE CAKE IS ALREADY READY, BUT WHY NOT ADD A CHERRY ON TOP, deleting the extension don't even work. SO, YOUR *** is stuck restrictions for the rest of your life, so once you install this, you pretty much guaranteed spam emails at work because your kid can't use google chrome because it's as a "business app", *Phone buzzes* needs permission for google.com like the **** isn't the same thing as google chrome that you just accepted.

Ferramenta boa, assim que bem configurado funciona muito bem, consigo controlar tudo e monitorar todos os acessos. A amiga bianca aqui que não soube configurar e os filhos querem acessar o que não deve por isso a ferramenta não deixa as crianças dela em paz.
