What is Beta Watch: Parental Monitoring and Control?

Beta Watch: Parental Monitoring and Control is a Chrome extension developed by Team Beta. It allows parents to monitor and control their child's web activity by blocking specific websites and setting security levels. The extension connects to a websocket and updates the blacklist, whitelist, and security level every 15 seconds. It also saves the blacklist to enforce it even when not connected to the websocket.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension is part of Team Beta's project for CS 4310, Software Engineering I with professor Hank Stalica.

It connects to a websocket and requests the blacklist, whitelist, and security level every 15 seconds. Websites specified in the blacklist are always blocked. The extension also saves the blacklist after the browser is closed, so if it fails to connect to the websocket the last known blacklist is enforced.

Depending on the security level, websites specified on the whitelist are logged and/or blocked.
