SafeVote: Community-Powered Parental Controls

SafeVote is a free parental control extension built for Chrome and Chromebook — the browser most schools and families already use. It protects kids online using the power of community: when enough parents flag a site as harmful, its risk score rises, and it gets blocked automatically across every SafeVote device. Key features ✅ Community-powered blocking — more flags = higher risk score = automatic filtering ✅ Community site — browse flagged sites and vote at safevote-community.vercel.app ✅ Parent dashboard — manage the blocklist, review blocked attempts, approve/deny unlock requests ✅ 9 content categories — toggle Adult, Violence, Gambling, Social Media, Gaming, and more ✅ Sensitivity slider — control how strict the filter is ✅ Instant blocking — sites are blocked before they even load ✅ Child unlock requests — kids can ask, parents decide ✅ PIN-protected — all parent controls locked behind a PIN ✅ 150,000+ known harmful domains blocked out of the box How it works Install SafeVote on both parent and child Chrome browsers Pair devices with a 6-character code The child's browsing is filtered automatically Parents review blocked attempts and manage everything from the dashboard What's New in 1.6.7: - Children now name their own device during setup, making it easier for parents to identify devices in the dashboard - Fixed an issue where some blocked sites weren't syncing to the community "Most Flagged Sites" list - Fixed a bug where site names with extra page details could show up incorrectly on the community leaderboard - Fixed a bug where the "How does SafeVote work?" guide could display incorrectly when reopened - New: join the waitlist for upcoming SafeVote features directly from the community site - Community site refresh: added search and category filtering to make browsing flagged sites easier - Minor bug fixes and stability improvements -Fixed a bug where unblocked sites (via toggle, unlock request, or Quick Unblock) could silently re-block themselves
