About SafeTuber – YouTube Parental Controls & Content Filter

• Improved Shorts blocker — removes Shorts navigation links, shelves and video cards throughout YouTube
• Direct Shorts protection — redirects Shorts pages back to the YouTube home page

👨👩👧👦 Parent Dashboard
Create a profile for each child, link their browser, and manage their YouTube protection from one place:
• View activity and blocked videos for each child
• Choose an age profile and content protection settings
• Create video and channel allow/block rules
• Control Shorts, comments, live streams and YouTube Games remotely
• Review and answer “Ask a Parent” requests
• Assign and manage protected devices

🔒 Privacy-Friendly by Design
Monitoring is off by default.
Per-video activity is collected only when you:
1. Sign in to the extension with your parent account, and
2. Assign that device to a child profile in the Parent Dashboard.
On every other device — including devices used by adults for their own content filtering — SafeTuber does not collect YouTube viewing history or browsing activity.
SafeTuber never stores video transcripts, search terms or comments. Child activity records are automatically deleted after 90 days.
