Parental controls for Muslim families: a simple setup

Good parental controls match a child's age. These are sensible starting points, using the Family Premium controls in AkhiBrowser. Each one is off until you turn it on, and the data stays on the device.

First, for every age

  1. Set a parental PIN, so the protections can't be turned off without it.
  2. Turn on No private tabs, so browsing stays under the controls.
  3. Remove other browsers from the device, or block them with Google Family Link or Microsoft Family Safety. A browser can't control what happens outside it.

Young children

Use Allow only approved sites and add the few sites they use. Everything else stays closed, which is much stronger than trying to block the bad parts of the web.

Older children

Open the web, but set limits. Block chosen sites covers specific sites that cause trouble, and Time limits sets a daily limit, bedtime and school hours. The Feed limit hides short-video feeds and stops social websites after a set time. It works on websites in AkhiBrowser, not in social-media apps.

Teenagers

Trust grows with age. The Activity summary shows how many pages were blocked and why, without their addresses. It's a start for a conversation, not surveillance.

When you need a break

Pause the internet stops browsing right away, with the PIN to resume. It's useful at mealtimes and around prayer.

See the plans and prices. The free protections work without any of this.
