Safety features in qikfox Safe Browser
This page describes what the browser does when it meets something risky - a deceptive page, an unexpected download, a permission request - and which of those behaviours you can change.
What the browser checks
Each item below is a behaviour you can find in the browser's protection panel, described in the same words the product uses.
Deceptive site warnings
Before a known-unsafe page loads, the browser shows a full-page warning explaining why it was flagged and what you can do next.
Download handling
Downloads are listed with their source. When qikfox Antivirus is installed, files are handed to it for review before you open them.
Connection security
The browser prefers encrypted connections where a site supports them and tells you when a page is not encrypted.
Permission prompts
Camera, microphone and location requests are shown per site, with a list of what you have already granted.
Search safety context
When qikfox Search is used, safety information appears with the result rather than after you click it.
Clear controls
Every safety behaviour has a named setting with a plain description, so you can see what turning it off actually changes.
What safety features do not do
Being specific about limits is part of being useful. These are the boundaries we state plainly.
- Warnings depend on knowing that a destination is unsafe. A brand-new deceptive page may not be flagged yet.
- The browser can only see what passes through it. Software already installed on the device is the job of qikfox Antivirus.
- Safety features do not hide your IP address or encrypt traffic from other applications. That is what qikfox VPN does.
- No safety feature replaces judgement. We do not describe protection as guaranteed.
