This is actual garbage, my parents installed it and now I cant play Roblox, or watch Netflix. Honestly this makes no sense to have. Its a compleate invasion of Privacy. honestly made my body with my parents way worse.

An invasion of privacy, I am also extremally disappointed that my mom had to put this on here. this just shows their child that their parents don't trust them with google or any other website or app. I had found this extension because I had seen it, because I was trying to get some Roblox web extensions. The only thing this shows kids is that their parents don't trust them. this doesn't teach kids any lesson, or tell them to be safer, (okay just a little bit.) it shows them that their parents doesn't care about their privacy and if younger kids can comprehend this, then that means that they will think that they don't have to care for others privacy.
