Can we limit Google Chrome in Downtime?

01/01/2022

My kids need Google Chrome to do schoolwork on their MacBook Air laptops. Unfortunately, Chrome allows the kids to navigate to all the sites that I've restricted on Safari using Family Sharing / Downtime settings.


  1. How can we restrict sites that the kids navigate to while using Google Chrome?


2. How can we apply a time limit to Google Chrome itself? I've tried to no avail.


Thanks for any help!


MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Hi jeffyweave,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! From our understanding, you need to block certain website on Google Chrome on your kid's MacBook and set up a limit for the amount of time they are able to set a time limit for the app use, do we have that right?


Check out the information from Google on how to allow/block websites: Allow or block access to websites



To set up app limits using screen time for Chrome check out the section titled " App limits" in this article: Use Screen Time on your Mac.


Hope that helps!
