AGE-BASED FILTERINGSimply set your filtering level at Elementary, Middle or High School. Mobicip automatically applies filtering standards used by K-12 school systems. The filter uses a combination of methods to keep your child safe, including strict safe search, categorization, and intelligent real-time content analysis. STRICT SAFE SEARCHThe Internet is synonymous with search engines today. Children most often encounter inappropriate content by accident through search. Mobicip enforces safe search on all popular search engines. This feature cannot be disabled even by changing the search engine preferences. CATEGORIZATIONNew websites are created every day. Mobicip categorizes every accessed website against a database to determine appropriateness. Database updates are pushed out constantly behind the scenes to stay ahead of threats. INTELLIGENT REAL-TIME ANALYSISIn the rare instance that inappropriate content escapes the Safe Search and Category filters, Mobicip's intelligent real-time content filtering engine steps in to protect young users. Advanced heuristic mathematical algorithms dynamically analyze and rate every single website, blog, and page as it is accessed. YOUTUBE FILTERThe filtering engine scans every YouTube video and filters it based on the title, description or keywords. WiFi HOTSPOTSMobicip encrypts all Internet traffic for over-the-air protection at unsecured WiFi hotspots.

"Expensive, support is paainful"
Version: Mobicip Safe Browser 2.8.2
Pros
filters some websites - was able to easily see google images.. pointless.
Cons
Charges you to buy the app, then charges you again for a yearly subscription (credit card).. frustrating!
Summary
Took over an hour to finally get setup on the browser .. once setup it was OK, although it took 3 days to hear back from support, and when I did, it was just a canned response (and the website I sent *still* wasn't blocked) - Installed mobsafety instead, still waiting for a refund..
