Site Blocking

Jack Puppy

Is there any way in FireFox (or IE or WinXP) to block all sites, except for a small list of sites deemed "acceptable". Most of blocking features I've encountered work in opposite fashion - allow all sites, except for a list of sites deemed harmful.

Often such tools are called "firewalls" or "proxy servers" :) The easiest (and most easy to circumvent, just use IPs) way of doing this is disabling the name resolution and put your names on the HOSTS file. I don't see dead pixels anymore... Yes, even I am blogging now!
