Block apps and other functions on Android 7

Hello guys!

After some time away from Android I just ordered a Moto G4+ (because of the camera amongst other things... :-D). It will be running Android 7.

So I have an Amazon Fire Tablet where I have some special adjustments in the Parental Control section. As far as I found out Android doesn't really have built-in functions that are comparable. So I'm looking for a third-party app that can do the following functions (ideally for free):

- block the browser

- block the app store so as to not be able to install new apps (to get around the blocked browser), it can and should still update in the background apps that are already installed

- block installation of apps from other soures (APK from SD card for example)

Ideally all this should be password protected so it can be undone temporarily for example to install a new app or something.

The goal is really to prevent access to webpages. Other apps like maps, whatsapp, news etc. can have internet access.

Which 3rd party app can do those functions for me?

Thank you for your time and help.
