Getting your family set up with SilverArrow.
No settings to learn, nothing technical to understand. This guide walks through setup in plain language — for parents, and for kids old enough to read it themselves.
SilverArrow is a browser tool that quietly stops websites from spying on you while you browse. You don’t have to turn anything on or figure anything out — once it’s added to your browser, it just works in the background.
Three steps, about two minutes, no account required.
Get SilverArrow for your browser
Visit the Download page and choose the version for your browser (Chrome, Safari, or the SilverArrow browser for Windows & Mac). Click Add / Install.
Confirm it’s turned on
You’ll see the small SilverArrow shield icon appear near your browser’s address bar. That means it’s active — there’s no separate “on” switch to find.
Browse like normal
That’s it. SilverArrow works automatically on every site you visit, with nothing to configure — for you, or for your kids.
What SilverArrow protects you from.
Invisible fingerprints
Some sites secretly tag your device so they can still recognize you even after you’ve cleared your cookies. SilverArrow erases these hidden tags.
Sneaky tracking links
Some links are secretly wired to report where you came from. SilverArrow blocks these tracking requests before they ever load.
Cookies that won’t stay deleted
Some cookies quietly rebuild themselves after you delete them. SilverArrow clears these “super cookies” too, so deleting actually means deleting.
Spy tags hidden in shared links
Links you share often carry hidden tracking junk (like utm_ or fbclid). SilverArrow strips that out before you share.
Why this is safe for the whole family
- Kid-safe by design. One tap to install, no settings for a child to accidentally change.
- Collects nothing, ever. No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking of our own — SilverArrow doesn’t watch your family to protect your family.
- Nothing to maintain. The protection list updates itself, so there’s no ongoing upkeep for you.
- Independent. Built by Project Research LLC, not funded by advertising.
