Please note that Mobicip is itself a browser and you can choose to use it for this purpose alone. The other permissions are being requested because the app comes with additional features such as App Monitoring and App Restrictions. App Monitoring allows you to keep an eye on the apps installed on the device, remotely from a web interface. App Restrictions can be used to restrict other browsers and apps that access the internet from being used to circumvent Mobicip's filtering. Since these functions require 'Device Administrator' privileges, the app requires all kinds of permissions during installation. Please be aware that Mobicip does not use all of the permissions requested, but as an app requiring device administrator privileges, it can potentially do so and therefore Google enforces the opt-in permission requirement.
