About this app

Integrated Web Filter & Adult Content Blocker
SPIN Safe Browser is a fast web browser with a built-in internet filter. It automatically blocks millions of inappropriate websites and enforces strict safety standards to ensure a secure browsing experience on Android devices.

Zero Configuration Safety
Protection starts the moment you install the app. SPIN filters content across all networks—Wi-Fi, 4G, and 5G—without requiring a VPN or complex setup.

Core Web Filtering Safety Features:
✔ Adult Content Blocker: Automatically filters pornography, nudity, and explicit websites.
✔ Enforced Safe Search: Forces strict Safe Search on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia.
✔ Restricted Mode for YouTube: Automatically filters inappropriate video content based off Google's filters.

✔ No VPN Required: Filtering is handled directly within the browser, ensuring faster speeds and stable connectivity.

Ratings and reviews

I love what this browser is meant to do, and it is great when it works. The problem is that it hasn't been lately. It is crashing every day and I constantly need to uninstall it and reinstall it. I will search something and it does nothing. I get blank white pages and no sign of it loading. This is incredibly disappointing. Update: I have found that clearing storage (not cookies!) will get it running again. Still not ideal, but better than nothing.

Spin Browser has been an excellent tool in limiting the type of content I can access on my phone for years. However recently, I've noticed that it allows ads such as in the tab manager window. For me, it's been the same add essentially for women's swimwear etc. Not helpful. Totally antithetical to what I thought the app was about. Can't the types of ads be limited to something not like that? Or better yet: don't do ads like previous years.

This is a good internet browser, but after a few days of using it it's now only crashing. I've tried to uninstall it, clear caches, updates and all. Nothing is working, it continues to crash as soon as I reinstall it. As soon as I press the app icon, instantly crashes. It is a good browser otherwise, I just can't recommend it or give it high stars due to this.
