For quite some time I’ve been looking for a Parental Control filter for my Desktop. Both my kids use the computer and I’m always afraid they might see content not suitable for their age. DH uses it too and I must confess that I found out that he watches some adult content and two weeks ago I got really mad about it. Although I know most men like to watch that type of content I’m not very comfortable with that AND the main point is the URL’s that stay in the Firefox history that by mistake can be seen by my kids.
Well, I decided it was time to get rid of unappropriated content and I started looking the web for a Parental Control software. I tried a few softwares I found through internet search but none was working the right way. Than out of nowhere, I came across a Firefox Add-on that does the job and I must say a good job, it’s FoxFilter and it is installed as a regular Firefox extra.
The Firefox Add-on is very simple, it has already a list of words that should be blocked, I added a few more although now I realize that the ones listed were enough. There is the option of putting a password to prevent other users from changing the settings so I put a password and now I’m in charge of the Parental Control.
When someone tries to enter a page with adult content and violence FoxFilter just blocks the page and a black page appears saying the content is blocked. I feel that the add-on is working perfectly and I’m much at ease when my kids use the computer.
As far as my DH reaction…none yet.
