Safe Browsing

AI-powered link scanning that checks URLs before they open to protect you from scams.

What is Safe Browsing?

Webwise Safe Browsing helps protect you from scams and unsafe websites by checking links before they open. If a link looks risky, Webwise blocks it instantly so you can browse with confidence.

No URL logs are stored.

We don’t keep a history of the links you scan. We only track anonymous totals like how many unsafe links were blocked.

How it works

When Safe Browsing is enabled, Webwise checks the URL you click using our threat detection engine. If the link is safe, it opens in your preferred browser. If it’s unsafe, Webwise blocks it and shows a warning.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. After a successful sign-in, you get 10 free scans so you can see Safe Browsing protecting you from scams before purchasing a plan.

What permissions does it need on my phone?

Nothing private. Webwise only takes browser permission so it can capture the URL when you click from any app, run threat analysis, and then open it in your preferred browser.

How to turn off Safe Browsing

Change the default browser to your preferred browser and Webwise will not check the safety of URLs you click.
