Kid Safe Web Browsers

3/16/2013

Comments

 
I wanted to tackle a very important issue.  That is the safety of what our children can access on the internet.  There are several new options to tackle this issue.  One of the most effective is using web browsers which automatically filter out pornography and other questionable content.  I will discuss a few that I found that have excellent reviews and best of all that are free.

Ipod Touch/ Iphone / Ipad Children safe browsers


AVG Family Safety

This is an excellent app based browser for the ipod touch/ipad/iphone.  Some of the best features of this browser are that it lets you choose the default search engine and there is no registration required.  The app is free but you can also get a paid version for your pc which is under $50 and includes licenses for 3 pc's. You can download and find out more info at the avg website see the links below.

McGruff Safe Guard Mobile Browser


Although not quite as good as the avg app, McGruff Safe Guard Mobile Browser has some very interesting features.  One of these is that it lets you filter sites by age range.  There may be sites that are appropriate for your 17 year old that aren't  for your 7 year old.  Some other cool things about McGruff are that there is an easy set up and for a $1 upgrade it unlocks a really cool feature where it emails you a report every day of which sites your children accessed and tried to access.  Also this one is available on android devices.  Just search for it in your app store.
