Porn/Malware Blocker

Blocks known pornographic and malware domains. When attempting to go to such a domain, the user is redirected to another page, alerting them that the site has been blocked. Unlike other extensions, no content from the blocked site is ever shown.

Porn/Malware Blocker - Secure Browsing Firefox Add-on

"Porn/Malware Blocker" is a Firefox extension that ensures user safety by blocking access to known pornographic and malware domains. It automatically redirects users to another page when trying to access a blocked site. Known-good domains are always allowed, while known-bad ones are instantly blocked. It also uses the Norton ConnectSafe Security+Pornography DNS server to evaluate domains not in the top 100 rankings.

Technical Information This extension evaluates each URL to determine whether it should be allowed or blocked in the browser. For speed, known-good domains in the top 100 Alexa rankings are automatically allowed, and known-bad pornographic domains in the top 100 are automatically blocked. Domains not in the top 100 are evaluated by connecting to the Norton ConnectSafe Security+Pornography DNS server. Any domain which is not resolved by Norton is blocked.
