How to Block Unwanted Websites in Internet Explorer
Most, if not all web browsers allow users the option of blocking specific uniform resource locators (URL). If you are a parent and your children have access to a home computer, blocking specific websites in Internet Explorer is important. Fortunately, Internet Explorer provides users with this capability. Nonetheless, if you use multiple web browsers on your home computer, you may need to manually block unwanted websites from each of them, as the process may differ from one browser to another.
