Kid Browser

While kids are often time better off the internet, there are particular cases that just warrants the need thereof. While a parent can try to join in on every such case, it also means taking time out off their affairs. Also, a need for older kids may occur when not near a parent. Kid Browser therefore seeks to help Christian parents to 'safely' autopilot these need-cases, especially when running supervised accounts (e.g., through platforms like Google Family Link) where an extra layer of real-time, custom content control is desired.

NB: Now with a remote monitoring parent client available here (Monthly/Yearly subscription based): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.za.likeChrist.parentapp

Tips:

* Keep your password safe. You need to clear data and loose all trackings should you forget it

* Delete history after reviewing it so that logging will resume on a new slate

* I strongly recommende you use this in conjunction with apps such as family link so you can protect it from unistall etc. Else, to clearly and sternly warn against tempering with uninstalling or clearing app data, as you should be able to see (with the help of ther date stamp) and take necessary punishment actions. Yes, this is only necessary if the Android Settings app cannot be thus access controlled.

* Please note that the selected search engine domain is always whitelisted

Recommendations

* It's recommended but not mandatory to set the KB Search (under search engines) for your child's search engine for safer search querying experience. While so, other search engines' domains are blocked.

KB Search engine

This is the studio's best effort thus far in trying to provide a search engine that seeks to find harmony between high quality search results and Christian kids friendliness. This highly configuration engine is outsourced from Google who charges $5 per 1000 queries unless they are allowed to show mandatory ads. Query credits can be purchased through Kid Browser's IAP store at around half a dollar per 50 credits. Please do note that this applies only to keywords search. Web URLs (such as bible.com, etc.) do not require credits. The KB Search as such comes with Safe Search enabled (and cannot be disabled from a user's end). But of course, we do not think this is enough on its own and thus the additional helper features (history track, word block, etc).

Kid Browser is developed by a Christian founded studio that seeks to meet the strictest Christian standards in its service offers.
