Parental controls on chromebooks are awful. Family Link itself is a badly put together product, but its claim to support ChromeOS is woeful, half of the stuff doesn't work, and mysteriously disappears from the app when the device in question is a chromebook.

They haven't done a good job. FWIW I work for Google, mean no offense to the team that works on this, but it has all sorts of problems, including service reliability. My wife is taking UX design courses and one of her final course projects was a multi page paper breaking down a bunch of our issues with it :-)

We've been down this road for months. Issues at home with mental health damaging content being accessed repeatedly, and I ended up signing up for OpenDNS; problem solved [for now].



I've been extremely frustrated with the ux and functionality of family link.
