Safe surfing for all the family
Everybody knows that along with all the cool things on the Internet, there's also a whole lot of unpleasant stuff. It's only natural, then, that parents and guardians want to protect their children and one of the best ways of doing this is by installing a content filter.
There's only one problem: lots of kids are smart enough to disable and otherwise get around these filters. ProCon Latte is a program that aims to put an end to this. The application is a Firefox add-on that normally sits quietly in the taskbar, green when a site is safe and yellow when the application suspects it might contain prohibited material. Clicking on the ProCon Latte icon will bring up a configuration menu where you can tailor the filtering to your needs.
The best thing about ProCon Latte is precisely these configuration options. From this little menu you can not only block "traditional" prohibited content, but also tailor the program to block any words or sites you choose, making it much more versatile. Not only can you prevent users from viewing this content, you can also set ProCon Latte to replace words you deem profane with substitutes of your choice and include a personalized message to appear when the user tries to access a blocked site. Last, but not least, you can set a password for ProCon Latte to ensure that the only person to change the settings is you.
ProCon Latte uses a variety of methods to effectively prevent the viewing of unsuitable material while online.

replace or delete bad words without blocking the whole webpage or website.
MoreThis product is a Firefox add-on (plug-in). The official description is not very clear, but you can delete or replace the bad words without changing anything else on a webpage.

delete or replace bad words on webpages EASILY.
MoreThis works perfectly to replace bad words with whatever text you like (*****, #$@, etc.). You can replace with just a blank space, and then it just deletes those words. You can edit the list of bad words.
This is great for Youtube comments, where innocent videos often have filthy comments.
There is also an option to block pages with bad words.
This is a swear filter or profanity filter or content filter. It is very easy to use. Other profanity filters are hard to use or do not work.
Pros:
easy
it works
Cons:
hard to find

It offers VERY LIMITED help.
MoreProCon is good at what it does for people who want themselves protected or those who don't know much about computers -- but ANY kid with an ounce of computer savvy can simply use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox -- or get Chrome or Opera and totally bypass Firefox and ProCon. Also, there are other ways to bypass it. A far better free solution is K9 Web Protection available here on Softonic - go to http://www.softpedia.com/ge... . This works for ALL Internet Browsers. CyberSitter is very, very good, although there is a modest price.
Pros:
Blocks words, bad sites, has whitelist and blacklist, and is customizable. Good to prevent accidentally stumbling onto a bad site.
Cons:
Will NOT stop someone who really WANTS to visit a restricted site.
