Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Avira, thanks for looking up about k9.

I don’t remember exactly what I posted, but something to the effect that we had used it. When we got married, we got k9 on our laptop. We also had a security password on our phones which we knew the code for each other. There were only really two types of filters then (at least to my knowledge). Block everything but what you get allowed, and unblock everything but explicit content. We tried the former but didn’t find it practical (even cooking supper became a headache to find a recipe because I had to wait till my husband was home… also there were allowed websites that the filter kept blocking and it proved frustrating), so we opted for the latter.

Eventually k9 didn’t work on our computer, so we kept it in a public place, The kids were too young to use it, and we used it for work purposes etc. We kept the filter on our phone, but didn’t really see any difference to our lives all along from the filter as we weren’t interested in the types of sites it was blocking.

When WhatsApp channels came out, I didn’t like the idea of disgusting names popping up on my phone, so that gave me the push to go to tag. In the meantime, newer filters had been established that were alot smarter than what we had had before. One just came out.

I really enjoyed the new features, especially face masking certain sites like shopping. Or being able to access/ partially access 613tube while still keeping you tube blocked. I had hated shopping Because of the pritzus, but now it’s alot better. So now I have my phone and laptop filtered through tag recently. And even though the phone one wasn’t as good and blocked apps I had never asked blocked, The enjoyment I have from having my phone filtered in a way that makes a difference overrode those annoyances, and I did get them resolved bH.

So that’s where I’m at bH:)
