Doubt it, there is no pressing need to exclude non-nsfw but parental control and porn addiction help have significant demand as well as people who fear getting accidentally in trouble at work.
Dollars to donuts, I bet porn has a lot more demand than porn addiction help.

Correct, operations are all done fully local to the browser. If you opt in to the Cloudflare DNS option, it'll check using the hostname only.

> or even no meat in their diet. You don't have to agree. Somewhat irrelevant, but: do parents actually have a right to enforce a no-meat diet on their kids? I understand (say) having a "no meat in the house" rule, telling your kids not to buy meat products with your money, and/or only cooking vegetarian food. But requiring your kid to adopt a vegetarian diet at all times--even when they're away from home--seems exce…
You may disagree with it but so long as the kids get all the same nutrients from other food sources and they don't go hungry it is the parent's discretion what the child eats. Otherwise it would be the government or society that raises the kids not the parents or guardians which are the people who have the most affection and desire to see the best outcome for that specific child. If a parent or guardian is acting in…
But I do think that a good parent would grant their kids a certain level of privacy and autonomy, depending on the child's age and the risks involved.
In this case, the risks of a kid eating meat are fairly low; one kid's chicken tenders aren't going to build a factory farm, and they can always change back to a vegetarian diet later.
(Of course, some vegetarians will have stomach issues if they suddenly start eating meat. The kid should know about that risk, but the reactions in question are usually very mild.)

Yes - they can, though by the time they become teenagers, what is a parent going to do if they disobey and eat meat? Funny story though - we have a family relative with younger children who was raising them strictly vegetarian. No meat (the mother insisted), though the dad quietly admitted he eats meat on occasion much to her chagrin. On a family vacation the children were left at the house for dinner, and another re…

#46I can't help but find the whole NSFW filtering thing incredibly funny since I found out there's a "healthy" fetish community working on this problem, with Chrome extensions like "Beta Safety" or "Beta Protection"
That reminds me of repackaging a traditional historical male dominated marriage, including occasional corporal punishment, as a BDSM kink to make it normal again. You think you’re seeing a woman in a dress, but actually it’s fetish gear showing her submission.
Edit: Why am I being downvoted for pointing out something objectively true?

I'm not saying, of course, that such a parent should have their kids taken away by the government. But I do think that a good parent would grant their kids a certain level of privacy and autonomy, depending on the child's age and the risks involved.

The problem a filter like this is meant to solve is: You go on the web reading random stuff, and occasionally you run into something pornographic when that isn't what you're after, and it's unwanted (because you're at work, because you find pornography disturbing, or whatever).
So the problem its inverse would solve would be: You go on the web reading random stuff, and occasionally you run into something non-pornographic, and that spoils your fun. Or maybe: You go on the web looking for pornography, and occasionally you run into something non-pornographic, and that spoils your fun.
So far as I am aware, those are not problems anyone has.
Variations on the theme: You might be looking for some specific variety of pornography and keep finding pages with different kinds. I don't think this sort of tool would help with that; all it can do is filter out unwanted bits of pages you've already found. Or you might be successfully finding pornography but not want to see any other clutter -- e.g., advertisements on your screen distracting you from it. But I'm pretty sure the only people advertising on pornographic websites are highly NSFW themselves, so I wouldn't expect a reverse-NSFW-filter to help with that either; what you want for that is an ad blocker.

#50When I was a kid, I remember enjoying figuring out how to bypass our internet filters at school by using the trick where you can convert an IP address into a number. I had never been too keen on filters but after that incident it planted a seed of an idea: could there be a better way? Perhaps make the process more intelligent? Watching the incredible advancement of image recognition over the last decade, it seemed th…
