    Is there a specific browser that is most ideal in terms of blocking porn? There's a problem currently where I can still see pornographic images on bing, was wondering if there is any way to stop this?

    Try Covenant eyes. It is good across all your devices. Their customer service is awesome and they can help set it to where that should not be a problem. Good luck.

    I'm not sure. You typically get what you pay for. To be free of PMO is worth the world and its contents brother. It is a mental hell that I don't wish on my worst enemy.

    If you're on PC, get Firefox and the image blocker add on. Then have a friend set up K9 for you. Or you can enter a random password, set up what you want it to block, copy the password without looking at it and email it to your AP (then of course delete the sent email and copy some random text).

    Good luck.

    Simple solution. Don't use bing. If you download K9, you can opt to only search with K9's inbuilt web browser. If you decide you don't want to use the K9 browser (which is fair enough because it's fairly limited), K9 has a feature where you can lock browsing in safe mode on.

    I do not believe in the throw away the key method with web protection softwares. There is always a way to get past them. They should only serve as a tool to provide another level of protection for your mental defence, and to wean out triggering material. They should not be used to keep you away from porn full stop. The throw away the key method can easily lead to tempting yourself. This can lead to more compulsive behavior, from trying to search for things that the protection software doesn't detect.

    The real progress must come from within. Since you are seeing problematic material on Bing, I recommend at least switching to something like Google with safe search turned on. Regards.

    K9 Web Protection is a great free option. I use it both at home and at work.

    As was previously recommended, I would also recommend K9. However, because the K9 search filter/browser is fairly limited (attempting to not use profanity but it's pretty friggin' bad), I would combined the recommendations and say K9 web protection plus google safe search.
    With the combined approach, if you HAPPEN to come across material, I think it would be at least limited in lewdity enough where you could conquer your urges.

    Problem is, these programs don't really help. Even a fully clothed hot girl on YouTube or etc. could trigger. I rather rely on myself than download a program like that.

    I totally believe that temptations are never the problem, not having the skills to stop yourself masturbating is the problem.
    There will always be temptation, whether its a computer in the other room, A hot girl, a hard drive or a cleavage on the tv, as you all know the list is infinitive, If your brain is craving a PMO session it will find a reason, something to look at etc and if you cant you will just use your memory.

    How many guys on here have deleted everything and put up blockers but still failed.

    Every addict will move heaven and earth to get his fix. it doesn't matter if the drug is in his pocket or ten miles away

    Every successful nofap person has the one thing in common , the ability to refuse the minds demands while the cravings are killing him.
