Hedgehog was developed for the parents of children working at home during lockdown. Children appear to find it very difficult to avoid click-bait whilst attending on-line lessons and they are very creative at beating content blocking.

The Hedgehog Browser blocks inappropriate and distracting websites at the browser level, so you do not need to change any of the settings on your router. Hedgehog has no off-button for children to find

In addition, Hedgehog allows you to view the web without adverts or tracking. Search defaults to Ecosia so you are able to help to plant more trees with every search.

Furthermore, the Hedgehog Browser is a next generation web browser. It converts all of the resources that make up a web page into their most efficient formats and then saves these resources into a shared online secondary cache.

Hedgehog is fast because it reduces your download sizes significantly by utilising this secondary cache. It works particularly well in areas with poor mobile and landline connections. The reduction in download sizes will noticeably improve your battery life if you spend a lot of time browsing the web.

We also offer customised versions of Hedgehog for specific situations, in particular those encountered by educational institutions.
