How to Block Sites With a Password
Blocking sites in an Internet browser is a relatively common action. But, sometimes basic restrictions just aren't enough to ensure prohibited sites are not accessed on the browser. Fortunately, there are further restrictions that can be implemented to guarantee browser security. Blocking sites with a password makes accessibility a lot more difficult. This action is the most effective way to block websites, because the password will have to be entered each time someone attempts to access blocked sites.
