Do you want to use parental controls to protect your children from seeing certain websites? Or perhaps you want to block yourself from being distracted by Facebook while you work. Either way, here’s how to turn on SafeSearch and block websites on the Chrome web browser.
To filter out Google search results that are explicit or inappropriate for children, go to google.com/preferences and click the box next to Turn on SafeSearch. Then make sure to click Lock SafeSearch to save your changes.
You will know that SafeSearch is turned on and locked if you see colorful spheres in the top-right corner of Google.
One of the easiest ways to block websites on Chrome is to download the Block Site extension from the Chrome Web Store. Then you can add specific websites and keywords you want to block and click the green plus sign.
You can also block sites by keyword, add password protection, and more by clicking one of the options in the left sidebar.

You can quickly block a new site by clicking the extension button in the top-right corner of your browser window. This is the button that looks like a red shield next to your address bar. Then click the Block this site button.
