A post on BrowserFame.com cited new controls allowing for a "supervised" account, which has fewer privileges than the normal account.
"These user accounts, now termed as 'Supervised Accounts,' would have less privileges as compared to the standard users and can be used for granting limited and controlled access to other users. For example, it can be used by parents to control browsing activities and other settings for their kids," it said.
However, the feature is still in its early stages, and is being tested in Chrome's Canary (early testing) edition.
Users can test the feature by enabling the flags “Enable supervised users” and “Enable new profile management system” from the chrome:flags page, BrowserFame.com said.
A separate report on The Next Web said this could be a step forward for Chrome's support for separate accounts, which lets users to store their personal settings in the same browser.
"Once a supervised account is set up, it appears that the limitations can be configured via a dedicated Web page, allowing parents and controlling accounts to manage the parameters easily," it said.
The Next Web also said it is possible the feature may be used for
Chromebooks, which Google is pushing for the education sector. – KDM, GMA News
