Guardian

Description

Local and network-level content blocking for Chrome use domain, URL patterns, keyword rules and DNS protection, secured by password. 🛡️ GUARDIAN - LOCAL CONTENT BLOCKER Block the websites that pull you away. Guardian is a privacy-focused content blocker that stops distracting or adult sites right in your browser, with a password only you control and optional alerts for a parent or accountability partner. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ KEY FEATURES • Domain Blocking - Block entire websites and their subdomains • Keyword Filtering - Block URLs containing specific words or phrases (add one or several at once, separated by commas) • Password Protection - Lock settings with a secure password to prevent unauthorized changes • Recovery Options - Generate backup codes and a recovery phrase in case you forget your password • Quick Add - Add new blocking rules directly from the popup • Incognito Support - Enforce blocking in private browsing mode when enabled in Chrome • Block Logs - Track blocked attempts locally with privacy-friendly URL handling • Allowlist - Whitelist trusted domains that should never be blocked • Light & Dark Theme - Choose Auto, Light, or Dark to match your system ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 GUARDIAN PRO FEATURES Guardian Pro is an optional paid subscription that adds network-level protection and oversight tools: • Parent Tamper Alerts - Get an email within minutes when protection is turned off, or the extension is disabled or removed • Weekly Email Report - A weekly summary of blocked attempts and the most-blocked sites per device (counts and domains only, never full URLs) • DNS Protection Setup - Step-by-step guidance to configure DNS-level protection • Router Setup Wizard - Help setting up protection through supported DNS providers • Protection Score - Understand how strong your current protection setup is • Network Protection Alerts - Get notified when DNS protection may no longer be active • Backup & Export - Export and restore your Guardian settings • Priority Email Support - Contact support directly as a Pro user ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 PRIVACY FIRST • Local-First Blocking - Your blocking rules run directly in your browser • No Browsing Analytics - Guardian does not track your browsing behavior • No Selling of Data - Your data is never sold • Privacy-Friendly Logs - Block logs are stored locally and designed to avoid exposing full browsing details • Optional Online Services - Payment verification and Pro support require limited online communication • Optional Parent Alerts (Pro, opt-in) - This only runs if you turn it on by entering a parent email. Your device then periodically sends our server a random device ID, the parent email, protection status, subscription status, a count of blocked attempts, and the most-blocked hostnames (for example example.com). Full URLs and browsing history are NEVER sent. Turning off Pro or removing the email stops it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 PERFECT FOR • Staying focused while working or studying • Blocking adult content, with a password and alerts instead of willpower alone • Parents managing children's browsing, with alerts if protection is disabled or removed • Accountability partners who want to be notified when protection drops • Digital wellbeing and screen time control • Users who want simple, local-first browsing protection ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Guardian and create a secure password 2. Add domains or keywords you want to block 3. Enable protection and browse with fewer distractions 4. Use your password to manage settings or temporarily allow access 5. Upgrade to Guardian Pro for parent tamper alerts, weekly email reports, guided DNS protection, backups, and priority support ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ℹ️ GOOD TO KNOW • By default Guardian blocks inside your Chrome browser. Other browsers and apps on the same device are not affected • To cover the whole device or network, use the Pro DNS setup guide and the router wizard • Anyone with access to the computer can remove a Chrome extension from the extensions page. Guardian cannot prevent that, which is exactly why Pro sends a tamper alert when it happens • Incognito blocking requires you to allow Guardian in incognito in Chrome's extension settings ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Guardian is built to be transparent, privacy-focused, and easy to use. Core blocking runs locally in your browser, while optional Pro features add parental alerts, a weekly report, guided network protection, backup/export, and support.
