Hi Folks, Was wondering what internet program or browser will keep my 9 year old daughter away from accidental mayhem/porn. She typed in "disney" incorrectly and got "dice ny" or something. Not bad, but could be worse. I remember in Internet explorer a slider bar thingy. I can't seem to find anything here in Mozilla.
Try squidguard. It requires you to run squid and redirect. It's not entirely comprehensive and it can be a bit overzealous, but it's pretty effective. It's also not the easiest program to set up but with a little patience you can do it. The alternative is to find an ISP or proxy server that will give you access that does the job for you. Ideally your ISP will run squidguard, so you can set the proxy and they'll keep everything up to date. -- JDL
