When you are looking at the variety of different porn blockers that are available on the market today, it can be difficult to discern which product will be able to best block pornographic materials on your computer. Before you make a purchase, you need to find out if the porn blocker can do a thorough job. There are three main criteria that a good porn blocker should offer to the customer as a standard service, regardless of which product you purchase.

The most important thing is what is known as a "porn filter", which is the tool that will identify and block your computer from accessing and loading new pornographic websites. It is currently estimated that there are over 4 million pornographic websites on the Internet today. This market continues to grow on a daily basis. Take a look at what the products you are considering for purchase offer through their services, for example, do they claim to block new porn sites that get created in addition to known and existing sites and networks? If the porn blocker does not clearly make this claim on the box or in its promotional marketing, move on to your next choice.

If the blocking software does have a filter, you will next need to find out what browser platforms it will work with. Do you know why this is important? Most of the popular browsers that are used today are downloaded for free onto your computer from the Internet, and many people have more than one. Some people will even have three or four loaded onto one computer. So if your porn blocker only blocks sites on Internet Explorer, what will happen if you try to gain access via Firefox? What about other popular browsers such as Safari or the new Google Chrome?

This is why it is important that your porn blocker has the ability to operate on all of these platforms. You will be able to breathe a sigh of relief with the knowledge that all of your browsers are protected. When you started out shopping for software that blocks pornography, you probably hadn't even considered the issue of multiple browsers. I'm delighted I was able to assist you.

To top off the list of the three most critical features that your porn blocking software should have, a third factor exists that most parents concerned about keeping their children safe probably haven't even thought of.
