Safe Browser for Windows Phone

When it comes to browsing, Windows Phone doesn’t have a lot of options and most of them just don’t get the attention because of missing option which lets one change the default browser. Even then we have some really popular browser app like UC Browser.

Today, when browsing through browser sections in Windows Phone Store, we saw Safe Browser from F-Secure, which is a credible website to figure of if a site is malicious or not. Safe Browser for Windows Phone is a full fledged browser which makes sure to warn you, when you accidentally open a website which can harm you in any way. Now even though we should all be using it, I want to pitch this specially for Kids and with Kids Corner in place, this is a great addition.

Features :

Blocks malicious sites automatically.
Stay Updated 24/7 using the cloud-based security service
Children can have their own bookmarks which is separate from your list.

You can change search engine.
Security overview showing application status
Kids Corner mode is Safe Search enabled which automatically protects your children from inappropriate content on the Internet
If your kid is too young to understand, browser can make sure that they can only visit websites which are bookmarked for them.
Protects your children from seeing search results that refer to explicit content

Safe search mode works with the built-in search engines (Google, Yahoo) and is automatically enabled in Kid’s Corner

One of the biggest advantages of Safe Browser is that your kids get a browser as you cannot share IE with them and second it’s a safe browser which will make sure to keep the wrong content away from the kids. As an example my son loves to search for pictures and videos of the word he knows but giving him my own account or even IE I don’t feel secure because as a kid he is definitely not aware of wrong and rights. Safe Browser’s Boookmark only access make sure that your kid is not going anywhere else while safe search is great for bit grown up kids.

Download

That said, the browser, though free to download, comes with a 30 days’ subscription which gets activated as soon as you first launch the browser. Later it will cost 10 Euros for 12 months which could be a great investment if your kids use your phone often for browsing.
