Option to disable adult content #3

Open opened by alegriseta.bsky.social

@me.weebbeef.org This is essential for protecting minors and for use in public contexts: the browser itself is built on Servo's innovative technology which is awesome, but unfortunately I can't adopt it as a Chromium substitute otherwise (and neither will many others). I tried deleting the files with the website links but it didn't help. Thank you in advance!

I have a suggestion for implementing this in 2 separate parts.

  1. The ability to add or customizable multiple blocklists (this is one that I would also like but with different reasons)

There are a variety of lists already on the easylists forums (e.g. https://forums.lanik.us/search.php?keywords=adult), so my thinking is that this method would require the fewest changes to the existing setup to achieve Alegriseta's outcome.

  1. Password protection for settings so the blocklists cant be changed without authorisation, and file verification to ensure the list hasnt been altered, for example the contents being removed or swapped out for a different file.

In addition to preventing access to the blocklists, locking down the dns settings to bypass a pihole (also in the context if one being used for the purpose of parental controls) is something that other browsers lack, or at least not easily configured.

Hi @liamillionss.tngl.sh, thank you for the suggestions: the main confusion I had when using the browser is that I typed hello world in the search bar and pressed enter, which is something I always do on browser to test functionality, and instantly got redirected to NSFW content instead of a hello world search on a search engine (maybe some shortcut got activated?). If this can be turned off, that would be great.

Yeahhhhhhh ok I see, top search results for pretty much every letter have results like that. I guess thats the internet for you so would be good to hide it from search results. Make that item 3.

This is all coming from the top-sites search provider. Indeed, this is popular content... But I understand where you're coming from. I would be happy to switch to a less controversial list of popular sites but I'm not sure which one to use!

(also... why is tangled not sending me email notifications!)

https://oisd.nl/ has nsfw lists which seems to be regularly maintained, and "oisd NSFW Small" which specifically targets results in just the tranco list. A script could run through the tranco list and remove any matching results from the nsfw list, which it could be saved as another file and use a toggle button in settings to swap from "unfiltered mode" to "exclude NSFW results".

Thanks for finding that! Indeed that looks like a viable option.
