But it is just too intrusive. Its strength in picking out many sites well is also it's weakness. It can be over vigilant making web browsing virtually useless.
In the end it would better to just disconnect your internet and live in a monastery. Sorry but the internet nowadays is full of online media, i.e. videos, music, podcasts, photo albums etc, and I'm talking about the CLEAN stuff.
This software pretty much bans it all. Which is weird as in the logs it seems to usually know the difference between "banned" categories you have selected and things you've allowed.
Yet for some very odd reason even when you allow everything it still ends up randomly blocking things???? And don't get me started on the user/password system it uses.
It slightly creeps me out that it pretty much keeps tabs on everything you do (email, chat, online purchases) and possibly sends it all to their servers. And yes I know you can make changes in the admin options, yet like I said above it doesn't seem to work.

For example, I want to keep my kids away from christian and other religious web sites, churches, prosthelytizing web sites, creationist sites, that sort of stuff. Will this help me to block that sort of objectionable content? If so, I may give this a whirl.

First, it acts like AOL, taking over the Mac system in areas where it has no business, like, the program shuts off after a few minutes of what it calls "inactivity" thereby, disconnecting you from the internet, even if you are using broadband! It does this by hijacking your connection to begin with, you cannot connect without signing into Safe Eyes.
Secondly, it has a box to click that says "remember my name and password" you click it, it does not remember EVER. You have to sign in over and over and over everytime it disconnects you (just like AOL). Also, it will block ESPN fantasy football because the software interprets that as "online games" when it is actually statistics checking. As someone else posted, it blocks ebay, shutterfly, and many other useful sites. Yes you can go in and add an * next to the website for "allow" but that site will never operate properly after that. I still cannot view flash files on youtube consistently. The site just acts like it is loading forever and never plays. Any flash video sharing site is blocked entirely whether there is adult content or not. No problem, find the good sites, type them in to "allow" in the admin panel with an * and then??? Bamn! no workie! My whole system works far slower after having installed Safe Eyes. When I try to shut off my system, Safe Eyes blocks it and tells me I must "Quit Safe Eyes" which I do and then it just simply pops back on again all by itself...I click "quit" back on it comes! preventing a proper shutdown of my mac. Its annoying and more trouble than the money. I am going to investigate other systems and try to get the remaining amount of my money back.

Bottom line, this software MAY some day be a great solution for parental control of computers, but right now, it's not there for Mac users.
