Naomi is (WAS, this product is not actively developed any more,
but appears to be still available) a content filter specializing in making the internet a safe place for children. The program does not use blacklists or whitelists like many of its competitors. The program performs its task by analyzing written web content, web addresses and links within web sites.
The program recognizes all major languages, enables blocking of file-sharing applications and is capable of working on a slow internet connection. Naomi is a good alternative for those families wishing to save money on their internet filter, as the program is available as freeware.
While the developer's website contains some information on what Naomi can and cannot do, the information is a little vague in some respects. For those who want to know more, however, the programmer can be contacted directly via the website.
