Macbook pro Ventura domain whitelist / block all websites on Safari

[GTJ5]

Hi, i'm looking for help in how to block all except websites on Safari. Can't manage to use Screen time and can't afford at this time to buy an extension or purchase an app. I'm interested if there some scripting option. Not familiar if Safari works with extensions. Or is there a way to disable Safari or require passcode to open?

Thanks

By blocking all websites on Safari, do you mean you do not want Safari used at all? You can set the browser of your choice as the default browser.

Hi. I'd like to block all websites except for a specific one. Setting the default browser to, let's say, Chrome, will not prevent someone from using Safari to access other websites unless its either disabled or a block is set.

Perhaps it would help if you would let us know the purpose for such a bizarre question.

My son uses the Mac for home school. And I'd like for him not to visit other sites during school time.

I do believe you can create a user account for him which can limit him to specifics you select.

Hi do you have a write up on the steps? I've already created a user acct for him

On his account, go to System Settings. In the top left search area, type in Parental Controls. I believe you will have all that you need there.

Hi. I've looked around for parental control and the only thing I find is screen time. And I have already tried content and privacy, limit app and selecting limit adult content, allowing the one website, leaving the block empty as I cant add all sites to block. And so far, this doesn't work.

Might I suggest that you take that up with your son as a concerned parent, suggesting the consequences for disobeying.
