Add Family Link Protection

Close common routes to regular YouTube

In Family Link on your phone: block the YouTube, YouTube Music and YouTube Kids apps (App limits → Block, or delete them); block every browser except Chrome, because Family Link's web filter only works in Chrome; and in Google Chrome → Manage sites → Blocked, add youtube.com (WhitelistVideo doesn't use Chrome, so the app is unaffected). Then set the parent PIN in the WhitelistVideo app. Optional: in Chrome, block google.com (Google results play video snippets) and set DuckDuckGo as the default search engine.
