How to Block Websites on Brave - Parental Controls

Brave is a fast, privacy-focused browser — but it doesn’t offer real parental controls out of the box. If you just install a blocking extension, your child can:

🗑️ Disable or uninstall the extension
🔁 Switch to another browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.)
🕵️‍♂️ Open a private window or use another profile

That’s why browser extensions alone are not enough for child-proof website blocking on Brave. HT Family Shield works at the system level, supports Brave and all other popular browsers, and gives you detailed reports on blocked and visited websites — even if your child clears their history.

Why Use HT Family Shield Instead of Brave Extensions?

With HT Family Shield you can:

🚫 Block any website or category (adult, social media, games, videos, etc.)
🌐 Apply rules to all browsers at once, not just Brave
🔍 See reports of blocked attempts and visited sites
⏰ Set time limits and schedules for specific websites or categories
☁️ Manage everything from an online dashboard remotely, so you don’t have to sit at your child’s computer to change settings

FAQ and Common Concerns

Q: What If My Child Installs Another Browser?
A: No problem. HT Family Shield monitors all browsers on the computer: Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Tor, etc.
Detects if a new browser appears and shows it in reports. Allows you to block that browser with a single click if you don’t want your child to use it. So even if your child tries to escape Brave and install another browser, your rules will still apply.
Q: How Secure Is HT Family Shield?
A: HT Family Shield is built specifically for parental control and is much harder to bypass than a browser extension. Key points:
- Works at the system level, not just inside Brave
- Protects against anonymizers, VPNs, and private browsing modes
- Password-protected settings, so your child cannot just open the app and turn it off
- Developed with more than 10 years of experience in parental control software
- Includes real-world feedback from parents and our knowledge of how kids try to bypass Brave parental controls
Q: Will it block websites in Brave’s Private windows?
A: Yes. Because HT Family Shield works at the system level, it filters traffic even in private/incognito windows and separate profiles.
Q: Can my child bypass it with a VPN or proxy?
A: HT Family Shield is designed to block access even when VPNs, proxies, or anonymizers are used. You can also specifically block VPN sites and apps in the rules.
Q: Can I allow some sites but block everything else?
A: Yes. You can use an allowlist approach: allow only selected websites (for example, school resources) and block all others.
Q: Can I manage rules from my phone?
A: Yes. You can log in to the dashboard at https://family.ht-vector.com from your phone’s browser and change settings remotely.
