Vidward
A parental-control browser extension that blocks YouTube channels, Shorts, autoplay, keywords, and comments from one parent dashboard.

Why It Matters
Blocking YouTube entirely often prevents children from accessing valuable educational content, while unrestricted access can expose them to distracting or unwanted recommendations. Vidward provides a middle ground by allowing parents to filter channels, videos, keywords, Shorts, comments, autoplay, and discovery features directly within the browser. With centralized management, synchronized rules, and support for multiple children and devices, families can create a safer YouTube experience without requiring children to use a separate app.
