Can Qustodio check Chrome browsing history?
Yes, Qustodio can check Chrome browsing history. Qustodio monitors and reports searches made on various search engines, including Google and YouTube. You can access your child’s full search history through their activity timeline or view an overview of frequently searched terms on their dashboard.
Key points regarding Qustodio’s Chrome browsing history monitoring:
- Monitors web searches: Qustodio tracks and reports searches performed on major search engines like Google and YouTube.
- Activity timeline: Parents can view a chronological list of all searches in the child’s activity timeline.
- Web searches card: The dashboard provides an overview of searches, highlighting frequently used terms.
- AI-powered alerts: Qustodio can send real-time alerts via push notification and email if a child searches for potentially concerning topics such as bullying, violence, drugs, or p****graphy.
- Enforce Safe Search: This feature forces Google, Bing, and YouTube to filter out inappropriate content from search results and prevents the child from turning off these restrictions in their browser settings.
- Incognito mode: Qustodio monitors and blocks sites even when a child is using Incognito/private mode. However, for Android, Qustodio opens a web browser to enforce Safe Search when the Google App or widget is used, as it cannot enforce it directly within those Google applications due to Google policies.
- Cross-platform compatibility: Qustodio works on various platforms, including Windows, Android, iOS, Mac, Kindle, and Chromebooks, and its web filtering functions across major browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
