About

Permission Browser

Read full description

Permission is a family browser built to give parents clarity and control over how their children explore the web. Instead of handing a child an unrestricted browser, Permission creates a structured browsing environment where parents decide what’s allowed and how long it can be used. With Permission, parents can: • Approve specific websites through a whitelist • Block unwanted content before it loads • Set daily browsing time limits • See clear insights into browsing activity within the Permission platform • Help children understand why a page was blocked Every page is checked against parent-defined rules before it renders. If something isn’t allowed, the child sees a simple explanation — creating consistency instead of confusion. Browsing activity inside the Permission browser powers insights across the Permission platform, helping parents understand patterns and guide healthier digital habits. Permission is designed to balance independence and oversight — giving kids a usable browser experience while giving parents meaningful visibility and control. No ads. No unnecessary tracking. Just structured browsing and insights built for families.
