About this app The internet was not built for children. SilentSurf was. The internet exposes children to inappropriate content, intrusive advertising, online tracking, and other risks every day. SilentSurf was designed to help families create a safer online experience. SilentSurf is a secure browser for children and families. It helps reduce online risks, limits exposure to inappropriate content, blocks ads and trackers, and provides a safer browsing experience across the open web. Protection, not surveillance Many parental control apps focus on monitoring what children do online. SilentSurf takes a different approach: protecting children while they browse instead of constantly watching them. With SilentSurf, children can: โ€ข browse in a safer online environment โ€ข search more safely with SafeSearch enabled โ€ข reduce exposure to inappropriate content โ€ข browse with fewer ads and trackers โ€ข enjoy a less distracting online experience More protection for families โ€ข child protection built directly into the browser โ€ข ad and tracker blocking โ€ข protection against many dangerous and inappropriate websites โ€ข optional social media restrictions โ€ข an additional layer of protection against risks across the open web More privacy SilentSurf does not create advertising profiles and does not share browsing data with advertising networks. Works alongside existing parental controls Tools such as Google Family Link and Apple Screen Time help parents manage devices. SilentSurf adds an extra layer of protection exactly where children use the internet most: inside the browser. Made for parents. Designed for children. Set up in minutes. Activate protection. Browse with greater peace of mind. No solution can guarantee complete protection. However, SilentSurf helps significantly reduce online risks and create a safer digital environment for children.
