Safety & Restrictions

Local content restriction system.

Restriction Mode is ON

Restriction Mode helps reduce exposure to adult, gambling, malicious, and other unsafe content. It runs entirely client-side using local blocklists.

Restriction categories
Choose which content categories to restrict.

Adult Content

Pornography, explicit sexual content, adult video and image sites.

Gambling

Online casinos, sports betting, lottery and gambling services.

Malware

Known malware distribution and command-and-control domains.

Phishing

Known phishing and credential-harvesting domains.

Explicit search filter

Block clearly explicit search queries (medical/educational queries are never blocked).

Safe search preference

Hint to search engines to filter explicit results (where supported by the engine).

Custom allowlist
These domains are always allowed (overrides blocklists).
Custom blocklist

Blocklists

Soren Browser ships with small demonstrative blocklists in public/filters/. To use larger open datasets (OISD, StevenBlack), run node scripts/update-blocklists.mjs --source=stevenblack.

The system is modular — public datasets can be imported without code changes.
