How to Block Porn on Chrome Easily With a Porn Blocker on Computer & Phone

Porn is bad for children, teens and even adults. However, porn is easily accessible online, which is bad news for parents and those who are prone to porn addiction. Blocking access to online porn can help with the situation. This article shows you how to block porn on Google Chrome on computer and phone easily using porn blockers.

 

Part 1. How to block porn on Chrome on Mac & Windows PC

This part talks about three different porn blockers for Chrome: one app and two Chrome extensions. They all can work on both Mac and Windows PC. Below you can find step-by-step instructions for each.

Use Cisdem AppCrypt (app)

Cisdem AppCrypt can block websites and lock apps on Mac and Windows PC. It’s easy to use and hard to bypass.

As a Chrome porn blocker, it can do the following things.

• Block all porn websites on Chrome with a click (available for Windows only).
• Let you block popular sites in certain categories (including porn, gambling, dating, etc.) with a click
• Block specific porn websites by entering their web addresses.
• Block URLs containing certain keywords, such as “porn”, ”adult” and “nude”.
• Block searches containing certain keywords on Google, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
• Protect the blocking with a password.

In addition to Chrome, it supports Safari, Edge, Firefox (on Windows only), Opera and Brave. It can lock any unsupported browser with a password.

Below are the steps.

1. Download and install AppCrypt.

Free Download macOS 10.12 or laterFree Download Windows 11/10/8/7

2. When you open it for the first time, set a password. It’s recommended to select the Launch at System Startup checkbox.

3. On a Mac, click the lock icon in the menu bar to choose Open Main Window. On a Windows PC, click the AppCrypt icon in the taskbar.

4. Enter the password to access the main window.

5. Under the Web Block tab, click Exceptions.

6. Under the Always Block tab, do one or some of the following:

• Block a specific adult site by entering it in the URL field and then clicking Add. Add more sites if needed.
• From the Import dropdown menu, choose Porn Sites, which adds tons of popular porn sites to the block list.
• If you have a text file containing a list of porn sites, you can choose TXT file from the Import dropdown menu to add these sites to the block list.
• Block a specific keyword by entering it in the URL field and then clicking Add. Add more keywords if needed.

Note: This note is for Windows users. In step 5, when you go to the Web Block tab for the first time, you will be prompted to install an extension on Chrome. Install this extension and then select the Block Porn checkbox in this extension, which will automatically block all porn sites. You can ignore the rest steps.

Now the porn content is blocked on Chrome (and any other supported browser) permanently as long as AppCrypt is running. When one tries to open a blocked porn site or page, it won’t open.

There are 2 ways to unblock blocked porn on Chrome: removing the sites/keywords from the block list, or quitting AppCrypt. They all require the password.

Tip 1: To block porn from yourself, you can ask a trusted person (like a family member or a friend) to set the password in step 2. Without knowing the password, you won’t be able to bypass the blocking.

Tip 2: If you want, you can block access to all web content except certain sites (like sites needed for work or study). To do so, turn on Block all websites, click Exceptions, and then add these sites under the Always Allow tab. This way, all porn content will be inaccessible.

Tip 3: If you want to block a website (like youtube.com) at certain times instead of permanently, add this site under the Web Block tab instead.

 

Use PorNo! (extension)

This porn blocker Chrome extension can do the following things.

• Automatically block tons of adult websites.
• Let you add specific sites or pages to block.
• Automatically turn on SafeSearch on Google and Bing and prevent it from being turned off.
• Allow you to hide it in Chrome menu.

Below are the steps.

1. Open Chrome browser. Go to Chrome Web Store.

2. Search for PorNo! Add it to your Chrome.

3. Click the Extensions icon in your Chrome toolbar. Click the 3-dot icon next to the extension. Select Manage Extension. Turn on Allow in Incognito on the page that appears.

This Chrome porn blocker extension will automatically block a lot of porn/adult websites.

If a certain porn site isn’t automatically blocked by this extension, you can manually add it. To do so, first click the Extensions icon in your Chrome toolbar and pin this extension. And the extension’s icon will appear in the toolbar. Now open this specific site, click the said icon, click Ban this site, turn on Block this entire site, and then click Block this site.

Tip: You can save some of your favorite websites, music, articles, etc. that inspire you on PorNo! When you feel that you could not overcome your porn addiction, click the EMERGENCY button on this Chrome porn blocker. It will open all you saved links.

 

Use Netfencer Porn Block (extension)

This extension works a bit differently, but is as useful as the above one when it comes to blocking adult content on Chrome. It can do the following things.

• Block specific porn sites and pages
• Block a page once a user-specified keyword (like “porn” or “sexy”) is detected in the page’s URL or content or both
• Come with a list of default keywords
• Allow users to add websites to trust

Below are the steps.

1. Add Netfencer Porn Block to your Chrome.

2. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Pin this extension.

3. Click its icon in the toolbar and click the settings icon .

4. On the left, choose Block Sites. Add adult or other inappropriate websites to the Blocked Site list one by one.

5. On the left, choose Blocked Keywords. You can add new keywords and remove default keywords based on your needs.

6. On the left, choose Trusted Sites. Add the websites (like Wikipedia) that you don’t want this porn blocker to work on.

The last step is optional but recommended. If sex-related content or words are shown in an educational, news, or other non-porn context, it’s likely that you don’t want to get the content blocked.

Quick facts

I’d also like to share a few quick facts that you may find useful.

• Mac’s Screen Time does help users limit access to adult websites. But it doesn’t support non-Safari browsers like Chrome.
• It’s possible to block specific adults websites on Chrome by editing the hosts file on a Mac or PC. But it isn’t efficient at all and not easy to use.
• If your router has parental controls or something similar that allows you to block web content, you can set your router to block porn-related content on certain or all devices (like a computer or phone) connected to its network. Find the detailed information on how to set on the router manufacturer’s website.

 

Part 2. How to block adult websites on Chrome on Android

I tested three popular porn blocker apps in the Google Play Store and picked Cisdem AppCrypt. It is compatible with Android 8.0 and up. It can do the following things.

• One tap to block adult sites
• Let you add specific adult sites to the block list
• Support Chrome, Chrome, Samsung Internet, Opera, and other popular browsers
• Provide password protection

Below are the steps.

1. Install AppCrypt on your device.

GET IT ONGoogle Play

2. When you launch it for the first time, set a PIN or pattern.

3. In the Web Block tab, type the domain name of the adult site that you want to block and then tap Add. Repeat this step to block other adult sites.

4. In the same tab, add certain keywords (such as porn, adult, or xxx) to the block list. This will automatically block all URLs that include any of these keywords.

Because of the PIN or pattern you set, the blocking is not easy to bypass.

Quick facts

• Some other popular Android porn blockers that support Chrome are BlockerX, BlockP and Pure Web.
• The four apps mentioned in this part are designed to help adults block access to porn. If you are a parent who is looking for a way to block inappropriate sites on Chrome on your child’s Android device, you can use Google Family Link.
• Chrome extensions only work with the Chrome app on a computer (like a desktop or laptop). They don’t support the Chrome mobile app. So the two porn blocker extensions mentioned in the first part don’t work on Android.

 

Part 3. How to block adult websites on Chrome on iPhone

The iPhone version of AppCrypt is compatible with iOS 16 or later. It allows you to easily make adult sites inaccessible on Chrome, Safari, and other browsers.

• Restrict access to specific porn sites.
• Offer an option to block all adult sites.
• PIN-protect the blocking.

1. Install AppCrypt.

Download on theApp Store

2. In the Preference tab, turn on the Adult Blocking option.

3. Optionally, go to the Web Block tab to add specific websites to the block list.

4. Tap Notifications in Preferences and then turn it on. Enable Notification unlock and then set a PIN when prompted.

Quick facts

• In the App Store, there are several iPhone apps that can block porn. However, most of them only support Safari.
• You can block explicit content like pornography from appearing in Google search results using Google SafeSearch feature. To enable SafeSearch on Google app on phone, click the profile photo on the upper right corner. Click Settings. Scroll down to find the SafeSearch option. Turn it on.
