It would be wiser to invest in a much more powerful piece of software; Intego and NetNanny are both highly recommended. Net Nanny for Mac from ContentWatch blocks adult web sites, sites with subjects not fit for children, and even blocks chats when predatory language is used. It blocks all offensive content coming from the Internet.
NetNanny also comes with Game filtering (don’t think Mac has that many games to begin with), IP address filtering of the most popular games based on its content and rating, and the best part is it comes with Remote Mangement to control your kids surfing behavior when you are away, say in your office or vacation.
Other paid web and internet filter software for Mac OS are Covenant Eyes, NetNanny and Intego ContentBarrier X5.
