Needed: blocking software.

March 18, 2005 12:17 PM

Looking for website blocking software. Suggestions?

I'm looking for something simple and (more importantly) free that will only block websites I wish to block - not all pornography or questionable websites - and works with Windows 98. If there's a Mozilla extension that fits the bill, even better. Any suggestions? Heard of anything like this available?

Best answer: If you already have AdBlock for Mozilla/Firefox, you can simply turn on Site Blocking (Under AdBlock Options in the Preferences Window) and add the names of the sites to the list. AdBlock wasn't created for this though, but I use it sometimes by adding *metafilter* and *bloglines* when I need to get work done. It simply makes the webbrowser do nothing when you try to navigate to those sites.
