This topic explains how to set up Safe Browser as the default or primary browser.
To take Safe Browser into use and to get the most out of the product, set Safe Browser as the default or primary browser on the device.
This is particularly important if the device belongs to a child and you want to protect their online activity. As a safety measure, you can also consider removing the other browsers from the child’s device to ensure that the child cannot access other sites using other browsers.
If you are taking Safe Browser into use on your own device, there is no need to remove other browsers. However, make sure that you are always using Safe Browser if you want Secure Browsing to evaluate the safety of the websites that you visit and to prevent accidental access to harmful websites.

The Secure Browsing view appears.
- Select Set Safe Browser as default browser.
