Mother in Israel, there is a setting on K9 which enforces Safe Search in those search engines which have it. That means that it automatically sets the Google Safe Search setting to on. Google itself will then act as a filter and not show any results from inappropriate words. If the search engine does not have such a mode, K9 will block the search engine altogether. Make sure you have enabled that setting. In addition, I like that K9 has a setting to block unrated sites. That means it will block any site that they do not recognize as being OK. If they never heard of the site, it will be blocked. So that is an additional level of protection. I think K9 is quite good if it is set properly. The annoyance is that sometimes it blocks too much, or in the middle of filling out a form, it may block a screen. It also blocks all YouTube, even the OK videos if you set it to block social networking. It is all or nothing.
