Features & Capabilities

YouTube can quickly lead children from one safe video to unrelated recommendations, shorts, or channels that parents did not choose. ChannelGuard helps parents keep YouTube limited to trusted channels in Firefox.

What it does

By default, ChannelGuard blocks YouTube video pages. A parent unlocks with a PIN and approves a channel permanently or for one day from the toolbar popup or blocked page.

Approved channels can play. Other channels are redirected to a clear blocked page.

First use

The default PIN on first install is 0000. Change it right away in Options.

Parent controls

Parents can manage the whitelist in Options, export/import policy JSON, change the PIN, and review a local audit log.

Privacy and network requests

ChannelGuard works on your device. It does not use accounts, cloud sync, telemetry, analytics, or remote dashboards.

Whitelist, PIN, and audit data stay in Firefox extension storage.

To identify the channel for the YouTube page being checked, ChannelGuard may request YouTube oEmbed, channel, or video pages as part of enforcing the local policy.

Independent project

ChannelGuard is independent and is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

Is Inferfox ChannelGuard Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Inferfox ChannelGuard requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Inferfox ChannelGuard is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
