Can a child disable the managed extension?
With correctly applied force-install policy, Chrome prevents normal removal and disabling through its interface. That is a Chrome restriction, not a guarantee against administrator changes, resets or another device. FeedHush’s own released extension and managed enforcement remain unavailable.
Can we stop switching to Safari, Firefox or Edge?
Only with a separate device app-control layer that actually restricts those apps. Chrome policy alone cannot do that. Plan Windows and Mac separately, then test from the child account. A website blocker that allows a domain may still allow it in another supported browser.
Is Family Link enough to lock the extension?
Do not assume it is. Google’s Chromebook guidance says a child can remove an extension without parental permission, although adding it again can require approval. A supervised account is not the same as a force-installed extension with verified device policy.
Is a standard account enough?
It helps keep administrator changes with the parent. It does not by itself prove that user-installed apps, portable browsers or other accounts are blocked. Choose and verify app controls for those paths.
Does blocking app installation remove existing apps?
No. Review the apps and browsers already present as well as future installation routes. On iPhone and iPad, also check the region’s available app distribution settings in Apple’s current guidance.
Can we enable this now?
You can configure vendor parental controls separately. FeedHush’s full managed Chrome and iOS setup cannot be enabled today: no public release, approved social-site filtering or verified end-to-end managed runtime is available. The help guides and policy planner are preparation, not an activation process.
