SafeSpace browser extension

Protects a child's Chrome, Edge or Brave browser with the rules a guardian sets: blocked categories, domains and keywords, quiet hours and daily limits. Sites are blocked before they load, and risky page text is checked by the same AI risk engine as SafeChat.

Download extension (v1.4.1, .zip)

One-click store install is coming once the listing is approved. Until then, install it manually in about a minute with the steps below.

Install in five steps

1
Download and unzip
Download the zip and extract it. You get one folder called SafeSpace-Extension. Move it somewhere permanent, such as Documents. The browser runs the extension from this folder, so don't delete it.
2
Turn on Developer mode
Open chrome://extensions (Edge: edge://extensions, Brave: brave://extensions) in the address bar and switch on Developer mode.
3
Load unpacked
Click Load unpacked and select the SafeSpace-Extension folder, the one that contains manifest.json. SafeSpace appears in the list and its setup page opens.
4
Pair with the guardian
In the guardian dashboard, open the child, then Devices and Create pairing code. Enter the code on the setup page and click Pair.
5
Pin it
Click the puzzle icon in the toolbar and pin SafeSpace. The shield shows whether protection is on, and the child can ask for help from there.

What the guardian sees

The device shows under Devices with its last check-in. Blocked visits and flagged pages appear in the risk summary. The full browsing history is never uploaded.

Stop it being removed

Children can remove a manually loaded extension. For locked-down devices, install it from the store with a supervised Google Family Link or Microsoft Family account, or force-install it through browser policy (ExtensionInstallForcelist) on school or managed computers.

For phones, use the per-device secure DNS profile in the guardian dashboard (Devices tab). It filters every app through Android Private DNS or an iOS configuration profile.
