BumperCar: the Mac OS X Web browser just for kids. Offering unparalleled content-control and customization features, BumperCar is the most powerful Web browser for concerned educators and parents on the Macintosh.
Features:
-Filtering: Forces Google (and other popular search engines) to use their Safesearch features. This reduces objectionable content when a child visits these necessary sites.
-Blocks profanity: If a page contains a curse word, BumperCar will detect it and redirect to a built-in page. The profanity list is completely customizable.
-Prevents use of personal data: This checkbox allows parents to specify the information that children should not be allowed to type in a Web browser window... a child's name or home address for instance.
-Whitelists: Children can only access the sites that are listed on an approved list of websites. The age-appropriate whitelists in BumperCar are easily modified to include the websites of your local school, church, or to reflect your child's individual interests.
-Blacklists: To quickly and easily block a particular site, simply add it's URL to a blacklist.
-Full support for ICRA (Internet Content Rating Authority): Filtering of pages whose publishers have self-rated their content.
-Limits time the child can spend online: Prevents use during certain hours, (bedtime), and limits the total number of hours your child can spend online per day.
Requirements:
-OS X 10.4 or later.
-Existing installation of BumperCar. A trial version is available at the author's site.
