With Safe Browsing, you can use Safe Browser—a custom browser within the app that you can set as your default browser on your device. Safe Browser prevents you from accessing harmful websites accidentally and gives you extra security when banking online.

By using Safe Browser, the safety of a website is automatically checked before you access the site. If the site is rated as suspicious or harmful, the product blocks access to the site. The safety rating of a website is based on analysis from our website reputation service.

Safe Browser also increases the security when you enter an online banking site by preventing harmful software from distributing any of your private information.

Using Safe Browser is particularly important if the device belongs to a child. Safe Browser is used in tandem with Family Rules, so to protect a child’s device to the full, it is recommended to set Safe Browser as the primary browser and enable Family Rules.

To start using Safe Browser:

  • Open the BOXX Cyber Protect app and select ‘Safe Browsing’
