About this extension
eGuard Browser Protection applies your family's web-protection settings in your child's browser, then keeps checking that they're still in place. It works with an eGuard family account: you choose the settings in the eGuard parent dashboard, and this extension applies them.
What it does
• Blocks the kinds of websites you choose, such as adult content, gambling or violence, and specific sites you add
• Turns on SafeSearch for Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo
• Focus hours: only the websites you allow open during the times you set
• Allowed-only mode for younger children
• A calm block page that explains why and lets your child ask you for access. You approve or say no from the dashboard
• Health checks: eGuard tells you when protection needs attention, for example if private windows aren't covered
What it doesn't do
• It doesn't keep a history of the websites your child visits
• It doesn't read pages, messages or emails, record keystrokes or passwords, or take screenshots
• It doesn't sell data or build advertising profiles
Websites are matched by the browser itself, on the device. eGuard only receives the protection status, health-check results, the number of pages blocked each day in each category (never which sites), and access requests your child chooses to send.
Getting started
1. Install the extension in your child's browser.
2. In the eGuard parent dashboard, open your child's page, then the Browser tab, and get a one-time pairing code.
3. Enter the code in the extension. Your password is never entered in your child's browser.
Settings can only be changed by a parent in the dashboard, not from the child's browser. For the strongest protection, allow eGuard in private windows. Schools and IT admins can force-install the extension so it can't be removed.

- Add to collection
• An eGuard family account. You choose settings in the eGuard parent dashboard at https://www.eguard.family, and this add-on applies them. The add-on doesn't work on its own.
• Firefox 140 or later.
Setting up
1. Install eGuard in your child's Firefox profile.
2. In the parent dashboard, open your child's page, then the Browser tab, and choose "Get pairing code".
3. Enter the code in the setup page that opens.
For full protection, allow eGuard in private windows: open Add-ons and themes (about:addons), choose eGuard, and set "Run in Private Windows" to Allow. Until then, eGuard shows "Protection needs attention" and tells you in the dashboard.
Good to know
• Settings can only be changed by a parent in the dashboard, not from the child's browser.
• eGuard protects this Firefox profile only. Other browsers, profiles and devices need their own protection.
• Any browser add-on can be removed by someone with access to the computer. eGuard alerts you in the dashboard if this browser stops checking in. Schools and families who manage their computers can force-install eGuard with Firefox's enterprise policies (policies.json) so it can't be removed.
• Category lists are a starter set that we keep extending. You can block or allow any specific site in the dashboard.
• eGuard doesn't keep a history of the websites your child visits. See the privacy policy for exactly what is sent.
