Questions

Things parents ask us

No. BrowseWise uses Chrome's built-in declarativeNetRequest API — the same engine Chrome uses internally. Blocking happens before a connection is made, so blocked sites don't even attempt to load. Pages load at full speed.
Yes, if they have access to Chrome's extension settings. For stronger enforcement, combine BrowseWise with Chrome's supervised profiles or a separate user account for kids. BrowseWise is designed to complement parental controls, not replace all of them.
BrowseWise blocks domains from the Steven Black hosts lists (78,000+ domains for adult, ads, gambling, and fake news) plus any custom sites you add. It doesn't filter content within a permitted site, but it effectively blocks the vast majority of harmful domains.
On Pro and Family plans, a blocked site shows a friendly page. Enter your parent PIN and choose to whitelist the site — either just that page or the whole domain. The exception applies immediately. On the free plan, you can add exceptions through the dashboard.
No. BrowseWise never logs, stores, or transmits what sites your family visits. The only data we store is your account settings (which categories are enabled, your whitelist/blacklist). Your browsing history stays on your device.
BrowseWise is currently a Chrome desktop extension. It works on any computer running Chrome. Mobile support is on our roadmap. For now, mobile filtering can be combined with your router's parental controls or a DNS-based solution.
