Sunscreen Website Blocker for Parents blocks all YouTube Channels and Websites except the ones YOU approve. Never Again Worry About Your Kids Seeing Inappropriate Content on YouTube or the web. ---- If you're like me, the idea of letting your kids roam free on YouTube sounds insane. It all started when my older daughter wanted to watch a certain streamer, one not featured on her YouTube Kids app. While the content itself was perfectly kid-friendly, it simply wasn’t accessible through the kids’ platform. YouTube does offer a method to share specific content to her device, but this approach only provided a fraction of the experience. She really wanted to go on regular YouTube.. I said no. In the back of my mind, I’m thinking theres got to be something out there to let her discover, learn and watch some stuff but not everything. Opt-in, not opt-out, ya know? Like you, I found nothing great — so I created it. Imagine giving your child access to the entire web, including YouTube.com, without the fear of inappropriate content. This app is a browser extension for Safari on iOS that transforms the Internet into an opt-in experience. Delete the YouTube apps and give them access to the web (seriously!) They can safely go to YouTube.com in the browser. They won’t be able to watch any content from channels that you haven’t approved. Oh and don’t worry about them stumbling onto other websites. Sunscreen protects those too. It’s pretty cool. They get the joy of the internet while you manage what's suitable for them. It's been a hit with our kids, so I've made in available for you, too. Take the first step towards a safer internet for your family and download it now. What are you waiting for?
