Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Computers -- regardless of brand -- are not aware of what you are doing - not at all.

 

Computers are hardware.

 

The Operating System you are running defines the environment supported by the hardware, including all the ways you interact with the computer and the world outside of the computer.  Any rules enforced on this level are those built into -- or added to -- the Operating System.

 

Examples of Operating Systems

Windows

Linix

MacOS

 

What to do?

 

Control which web sites are allowed to be sought, searched, viewed, or offered when you are using the Internet.

 

  • Use a browser that includes the options you like - Peruse the browser's Settings to see what the browser offers.
  • Increase the effectiveness of your browser's setup -- Install browser "Add-ons" control the browser's behavior.
  • Use a search engine that allows you to restrict what you see when you are searching or looking for information.

 

Examples of Browsers

Microsoft Edge

Firefox

Chrome

 

Browsers might be limited to what is offered in the browser settings.

Settings provide the "plain wrapper" version of browser behavior.

Example Firefox:

Block pop-up windows
Warn you when websites try to install add-ons

 

Browser behavior can be enhanced with the addition of Add-ons

Example - Firefox - Extensions / Add-ons:

  Firefox Browser Add-ons

  Privacy & Security — Firefox Staff Picks 

and

  Firefox Add-ons - Search for "Filter"

 

 

Example of Search Engines

Google

Duck-Duck

Bing

 

 

Example from Google

Filter or blur explicit results with SafeSearch
