Q: How will Chrome work on my Tanoshi device?
For the most part, Chrome will be the same for kids as it is for adults. There are only a few things that are different for kids, for example:
- Kids can’t use incognito mode, or sign out of Chrome.
- Parents can manage the sites their kids can visit on Chrome, and some site permissions.
- By default, Chrome tries to block sexually explicit and violent sites.
- Chrome Sync is required for certain parental management features to work, so it can’t be turned off completely. However, you can turn off certain kinds of data collection.
Your kid’s Google Activity controls might allow Google to use Chrome browsing history and activity from websites to personalize their experience across Google products and services. However, this information won’t be used to personalize ads.
