About using Freedom on ChromeOS and Linux

Freedom for ChromeOS and Linux is managed through our Chrome browser extension. It allows you to use the website blocking functionality of Freedom on your computer via the extension.

Supported Browsers:

Google Chrome

Installing Freedom on ChromeOS and Linux

To install Freedom on your Chromebook or Linux computer follow the instructions below:

  1. Click on the extension, and login using your Freedom account email address and password. This will add the device you’re using to your Freedom account.

If you don't have any active sessions on your device, the extension will display "Freedom is ready."

How to block websites using Chrome/Linux

Block sessions on Chrome/Linux are initiated and managed from your Freedom dashboard. For instructions on starting a session, see Starting a block session

Note: The browser extension on ChromeOS and Linux allows you to block websites, but does not offer any of the in-app controls that our Mac and Windows apps have at this time.
