Very Safe Browsing

We know how much undesirable content there is on the the web. We know how important it is to protect your home from pornography with an internet filter, like Net Nanny.


But technology cannot make a moral decision on images or video you need to go 1 step further than any internet filter can offer, you need a way to stop undesirable images and videos from continually accessible.

What you need to:

1 - Regardless of what internet browser you are already using, download and install the Firefox internet browser.


Install the following Firefox Add-ons (Add-ons extend Firefox, letting you personalize your browsing experience.)

2 - Install ProCon Latte 1.7.9.5
This Add-on will allow you to filter web pages, but if you are already using an internet filter you can turn everything off in ProCon, except the Profanity Filter.

I know Net Nanny is going to stop my children from getting on to sites, but if you're an adult and you have pages you are comfortable with and you tell Net Nanny not to filter you, but you don't want the filthy language from those pages, you can build your own word list; so that any undesirable words are masked with "***"!


3 - Download and install the following Add-ons:
Adblock Plus 1.0.1
Remove It Permanently 1.0.6.4


I've found both of these very very helpful when I don't want to see parts of a page that I don't need to see. Especially where no internet filter in existence can make a moral decision on an image or video, you need to empower yourself in a way that will allow you to see your favorite page without nasty images or ads loading up on your page.

You right-click on an undesirable image and select to AdBlock it. Or in an extreme example let say you frequent a favorite site that has lots of good stuff on it, but there is a part of the site that invites you to click on it to see girls in swim suits, (or less). You can right click this and "Remove it Permanently."


4 - Install IE Tab 1.5

With as amazing as you are quickly realizing the Firefox browser is, you'd probably be surprised to find out that not everyone makes their web page Firefox compliant!


Well, someone was smart enough to realize this and they made this beautiful Add-on. If a page you were frequenting before installing Firefox doesn't load properly in Firefox, you can right-click your favorite page and use "View page in IE tab."

One caviet to using IE tab: all Firefox add-ons are disabled when using a page in IE.




To summarize: with Firefox, you can pretty much do anything you want, as apposed to IE where you have add-ons, but you have to pay for some add-ons, and they aren't as powerful. Combine that with the Net Nanny Internet Filter and you are going to have a very happy browsing experience!

Tackling the Porn Problem

http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,49-1-1032-35,00.html

From 179th Annual General Conference, April 2009, President Thomas S. Monson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is quoted:

Now, a word of caution to all—both young and old, both male and female. We live at a time when the adversary is using every means possible to ensnare us in his web of deceit, trying desperately to take us down with him. There are many pathways along which he entices us to go—pathways that can lead to our destruction. Advances in many areas that can be used for good can also be used to speed us along those heinous pathways.

I feel to mention one in particular, and that is the Internet. On one hand, it provides nearly limitless opportunities for acquiring useful and important information. Through it we can communicate with others around the world. The Church itself has a wonderful Web site, filled with valuable and uplifting information and priceless resources.

On the other hand, however—and extremely alarming—are the reports of the number of individuals who are utilizing the Internet for evil and degrading purposes, the viewing of pornography being the most prevalent of these purposes. My brothers and sisters, involvement in such will literally destroy the spirit. Be strong. Be clean. Avoid such degrading and destructive types of content at all costs—wherever they may be! I sound this warning to everyone, everywhere. I add—particularly to the young people—that this includes pornographic images transmitted via cell phones.

My beloved friends, under no circumstances allow yourselves to become trapped in the viewing of pornography, one of the most effective of Satan's enticements. And if you have allowed yourself to become involved in this behavior, cease now. Seek the help you need to overcome and to change the direction of your life. Take the steps necessary to get back on the strait and narrow, and then stay there.

May we say, with Joshua of old, "Choose you this day whom ye will serve; . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Since the days of little Timmy going over to little Johnny's house looking at Dad's hidden stash of x-rated magazine's is over and the internet is the new magazine, learn how to empower yourself and protect you, your home and family.
