Understanding Parental Controls: Browsers vs Apps

Understanding the difference between safe browsers and monitoring apps is crucial for effective parental control.

Safe Browsers

Safe browsers are designed specifically for internet browsing. They filter content, enforce SafeSearch, and block inappropriate websites before they load.

Monitoring Apps

Monitoring apps track device activity beyond just browsing. They monitor app usage, screen time, location, and provide comprehensive reporting to parents.

Working Together

When used together, browsers and apps provide complete protection - browsers handle internet safety while apps monitor overall device usage.
