Mac Software Review: CutX 4.5

CutX 4.5 Extension for Safari web browser
Mac software review

app4mac‘s CutX is an extension plug-in for Safari web browser (Mac only). It allows users to censor websites. It’s only good for parental control on kid’s Internet surfing. Or will it also stop users from accidentally downloading malicious files from websites in the blacklist?

One tool that they offer with CutX is ‘Banned Words.’ You can customize a list of banned words for your needs. If CutX spots a webpage with any of the banned words, it will block access.

I can tell you at the beginning. Censoring websites with banned words is not going to work no matter how you do it. That’s from our experience with one of the ad companies we are affiliated with. We started having porn text ads at our SEO blog website around June 20 because of this ad company. (See Screenshot 01.) We asked them not to deliver porn ads. Then they told us to consider removing one particular article. As you see Screenshot 02, there is nothing wrong about it. What, we can’t mention sex or pornography on our websites? But their website also mentions child pornography. (See Screenshot 03.) We can’t even say something like ‘Avoid this porn website’ or ‘we do not condone child pornography’?
