A lad in work is getting a laptop for his grand daughter for Xmas. She will want access to YouTube, but is there any safeguards to prevent her accidentally ending up on some cock film site's?

CleanBrowsing DNS - Protecting our families and kids when visiting the web. Free DNS Parental Control, DNS Filter and Web filter. is simple and easy to use so long as you can change the DNS settings on your router. The Free plan should be enough.
Thanks for the reply. Would changing the dns settings effect the content on all the other devices accessing the web?

Yes it would but it would protect everyone from porn, hacking etc.
I have installed a Disney 'Circle' device - its like a really handy device that allows you to control web/internet conrols on a device by device level - so in this case, you set the child's device as locked down - and can add/delete whitelist/blacklists or use the built in profiles. They can be found cheap on ebay.
Also means they are tamper proof (i.e. kids looking for workarounds on the device) and you can manage remotely... also good for blocking app stores, xxx content and individual sites that you want kids away from.
For me - this (or a similar device) is the way to go, vs local software.
Best,
Kev

If you add users as child/limited account on windows 10 you can also block such websites.
