how to block access to adult sites? I wasnt sure if this was the best place to ask, but thinking about again, my guess is the mods here will have some bright ideas. So... Hey folks, my sister has two young children and the eldest is just at the age where he can type into google. He loves Ben 10 and the Cars movies etc and enjoys playing flash games based on these films, which he can search for unaided. Now as adults you all know full well the words that kids pick up from each other in playground and both me and my sister are worried that he will type said words into google and you all know the kind of sites he will discover if that happens. What software or settings in firefox can we use to stop such sites from appearing in google searches? I wont be able to respond to any replies because I'm about to leave on a trip, so thanks in advance for your help and I will reply when I get back  | |

Google does have "safe search" capabilities that are pretty good at filtering out adult material. http://www.safesearchkids.com/google-safe-browsing.html | |

Since you mentioned Firefox you could try some of their add-ons (they have tons, and people are always adding more). I did a quick search and found FoxFilter and Anti-Porn Pro, both of which have fairly decent ratings and reviews. There's also an add-on called WOT, which has a child safety category (Porn Users gets a red, meaning it's unsafe for kids), though this is more of a way to warn about or block spammy and privacy-invading sites rather than hold back the tidal wave of porn that is the Internet. I don't have kids so I can't speak from experience and I was a teenager when I first starting surfing the web so I found porn pretty quickly. Trial and error on a shared family computer is probably going to be your best bet. It's also probably safe to assume whatever you do to block porn can be unblocked by most kids given enough time and curiosity. An open door policy would probably help, since it would be easier to physically see what the child is actually looking at. Good luck. --- P.S. Edit: The three add-ons I mentioned are all free, though FoxFilter says it has "Premium features available with small support fee." In general you should be able to block porn for free--though it might take some time to find the most appropriate solution. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?
