About Us

Who We Are

LimitX Browser is a family-safety focused web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, designed to provide comprehensive parental controls and content filtering for families and educational institutions.

We are a student-led development team from Superior University Lahore, Pakistan, working under DownLabs to create innovative solutions for digital safety and parental control.

Our Vision

To create a safer internet experience for families worldwide by providing powerful, privacy-first parental control tools that empower parents to protect their children while respecting user privacy and freedom.

We envision a future where:

  • Every family has access to effective content filtering tools
  • Children can safely explore the internet with appropriate supervision
  • Parents have complete control and transparency over their children's online activities
  • Privacy is protected through local processing and minimal data collection
  • Open-source technology drives innovation in family safety

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop and maintain LimitX Browser as a comprehensive family-safety solution that:

  • Protects Children: Provides robust content filtering and monitoring to keep children safe from inappropriate content
  • Empowers Parents: Gives parents the tools they need to supervise their children's internet usage effectively
  • Respects Privacy: Processes data locally on devices and maintains transparent privacy practices
  • Stays Open Source: Built on Firefox with respect for open-source principles and community contributions
  • Remains Accessible: Provides free access to essential safety features for all families
  • Innovates Continuously: Regularly updates with new features based on user feedback and emerging needs

Our Story

LimitX Browser was born from a simple observation: many families struggle to find effective, privacy-respecting parental control solutions that actually work. Most existing solutions either compromise user privacy, are too expensive, or fail to provide comprehensive protection.

As students studying technology and data science at Superior University Lahore, we decided to tackle this problem head-on. We chose to build on Mozilla Firefox's solid foundation, adding powerful parental control features while maintaining the privacy-first approach that Firefox is known for.

What started as a university project has grown into a comprehensive browser solution used by hundreds of beta testers and preparing for public launch on the Google Play Store.
