A system for selectively allowing and restricting access to websites
requested by a user includes a computer having a central processing unit,
a display, a keyboard and a web browser installed on the central
processing unit. The web browser has a list of allowable top level
domains (TLDs), and the central processing unit includes a database
having a list of allowable uniform resource locators (URLs). The web
browser compares the TLD and URL associated with a requested website to
respectively determine if they are the same as a TLD or URL in the lists
of allowable TLDs and URLs. If either the TLD or URL associated with the
requested website is the same as a TLD or URL on the lists, the user is
allowed to access the requested website on the computer. If neither the
TLD nor the URL associated with the requested website is the same as a
TLD or URL on the lists of allowable TLDs and URLs, the user is denied
access to the requested website on the computer.
