Adult Blocker Review: 5 Fast Facts

Adult Blocker is parental control software for your web browser. It allows you to keep your children protected from violent or pornographic content. You can manage access to any website. The software is easy to use, and is highly effective. You can circumvent denied access with a simple password. That password also protects your settings.

Setting up Adult Blocker is extremely easy. It’s a small plug-in that works in conjunction with your web browser. Google Chrome users can quickly find it among available extensions. Once installed, you create a password for the account. The plug-in is immediately active. If you try to reach a site on the company’s internal blacklist, you’ll be redirected to a plain Adult Blocker page.

Adult Blocker lets you manage whitelists and blacklists. If there’s a pornographic site you find access to while the plugin is active, you can blacklist it. Once this is done, a site can only be accessed with a password. There are no requirements on what kinds of pages you can restrict access to. That means you can block distracting sites until your kids finish their homework. Then you just have to input the password. You can also restrict access to web pages that you find politically or educationally obstructive to your kids. Whitelisting a page will allow access regardless of Adult Blocker’s automatic settings. This can be useful with older kids who may be able to handle violence, but whom you wish to protect from porn.

Adult Blocker offers support across several languages. It is useful whether you’re surfing the net from around the world, or if your first language isn’t English. They continue to expand their reach into additional languages. They even have a way for you to help out if you speak a second language that the plug-in needs. It’s a great way to give back and help other parents protect their kids.

You can disable Adult Blocker for small periods of time. You may find yourself in need of access to certain blocked content. You could whitelist a page, but you risk forgetting to put it back on the blacklist. There’s no ability to schedule blocked and unblocked times for certain websites, or for the app as a whole. You can still set the plugin to be disabled for 10, 30, or 60 minutes at a time.
