New Privacy-Centric Tool for Online Safety

Focus on Care Without Tracking
Sources indicate that the tool represents a departure from conventional parental control systems, which often rely on monitoring user behavior. Justas Pukys, Surfshark’s Senior Product Manager, stated that the blocker is designed to “turn control into care without tracking involved,” helping households set clear boundaries for children, elderly relatives, or shared devices. Analysts suggest this aligns with growing demand for privacy-respecting digital tools.
Key Features and Customization
The report states that users can select from predefined content categories, apply filters to specific devices or profiles, and lock settings using two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. This customization allows families to prevent exposure to malicious or inappropriate content while maintaining transparency and data protection, core principles of Surfshark’s services.
Availability and Implementation
Currently, the web content blocker is available on Android and iOS for Surfshark One or One+ subscribers, with support for additional platforms expected soon. To activate it, users must install the Surfshark app, sign in, and enable the blocker under settings. This rollout underscores the company’s emphasis on transparency and user-centric innovation in online safety solutions.
