MTA Home Shield is a companion app and an extension of the MTA Shield security solution.
SEPARATE ‘SAFE BROWSER’ ICON IN LAUNCHER
Safe browsing works only when you are browsing the Internet with Safe Browser. To easily allow you to set Safe Browser as default browser, we install this as an additional icon in the launcher. This also helps a child launch the Safe Browser more intuitively.
