Tips

  • Stop getting distracted all day long by installing an add-on to block websites and indicating when you want to block certain websites. For example, if you want Facebook or YouTube to be blocked between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to prevent you from spending time on these sites, specify those times in your blocking ad-n settings.
  • Use add-ons to block websites to prevent your children from accessing porn sites and other inappropriate websites. Some add-ons let you set a password, requiring users to enter a password before accessing certain blocked sites. If you want to keep websites away from your children, but still allow adults to access them, you could set a password.
