It includes a personal block list (domains and keywords), optional image/video blocking, a 4-digit PIN to prevent uninstall or tampering, and the ability to lock other apps. It enforces Safe Search, blocks downloads, and uses tracker blocking for speed and privacy; the app is powered by DDG. Note: Filtering occurs inside the app; for maximum protection, disable or lock other browsers so you only use Purity. A free 3-day trial is included, with subscription afterward. Some features require Accessibility and Device Administrator permissions, and you may need to adjust battery optimization for optimal results. Support is available via the built-in FAQ and support email. ## Rankings - #179,287 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.porn.blocker.purity.browser.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Review summary Users praise Purity: Safe Browser for strong content blocking, blocking other browsers and apps, image/video blocking, and password-protected blacklists. It’s generally user-friendly and ad-free, and helpful for parental controls and focus. However, the price and paywall are frequently criticized; the protection is not foolproof and can be bypassed; legitimate sites can be blocked; and some report bugs or disappointing updates. Overall, effective if you’re willing to pay and tolerate some rigidity. ### Pros - Blocks explicit content effectively (including images/videos) and reduces temptation. - Can block other browsers and installed apps to prevent circumvention. - Built-in blacklist/whitelist with password protection and easy management. - No ads, user-friendly interface, and useful for parental controls and reducing distractions. - Helpful for staying focused and resisting temptation. ### Cons - Paid app with a pay-to-use model or trial; not free. - Protection can be bypassed by exiting the app or other workarounds; not fully foolproof. - Occasionally blocks legitimate sites or interferes with normal functions (e.g., login pages). - Some users report a disappointing experience or wasted money due to the paywall. - Occasional bugs or update-related issues that affect usability. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Purity: Porn Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.safelagoon.purity) — 5,256 users, 4.57 / 5 - [Pure Browser-Private & Safe](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.browser.pure) — 4,829 users, 4.36 / 5 - [BlockSite - Porn Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pornblocker) — 173 users - [Purify Browser - Safe and Fast](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.triiplesjo.purifybrowser) — 399,853 users, 4.12 / 5 - [PureBrowser](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.purebrowser.app) — 1,457 users - [Safe Surfer: Block Porn & Apps](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.safesurfer) — 780,683 users, 3.84 / 5 - [Browse Safe](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.buntai.browser.app) — 3,018 users, 3.40 / 5 - [Porn Blocker - Anti Porn App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.porn.blocker) — 33,529 users, 3.31 / 5 - [Private Safe Browser](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.browser.privatesafe) — 270,548 users, 4.54 / 5 - [Pure Privacy Browser](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.browser.pureprivate) — 110,386 users, 4.35 / 5 - [Pure Blocker: Porn Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.raghav.blocker) — 3,245 users, 2.75 / 5 - [Privacy Expert: Safe Browser](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.eps.privacyexpert.safebrowser) — 109 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.porn.blocker.purity.browser)
