Today I had both mail.google.com and www.jetbrains.com blocked as "Web Category" "Advertisements".

That's pretty bad. How are these categories decided? I didn't expect to have to whitelist Gmail...

In "Web Controls", there's an "Adult" category and a "Pornography" category. What's the difference?

Also, what category should a site that offers pornographic games be in? For example, repacklab.com is currently categorized in "Games" but its front-page contains pornographic images (albeit 3D renders, not photos). I was going to request a re-classification to "Pornography"... but then I spotted the "Adult" category... and now I'm not sure what it should be.

I have added youtube.com to a Web Control blacklist. When I try to visit youtube.com with Apple Safari, it is blocked as expected. But when I use Google Chrome, it still loads youtube.com. How is Chrome getting around the blacklist?

I would prefer to use the App Control to block Youtube - that works with all browsers, as far as I can tell - but unfortunately that blocks Youtube Kids too. I would like to allow my children to use Youtube Kids, just not the general Youtube website.

The only thing I could think of was to blacklist youtube.com - but that doesn't seem to work in Chrome  :(
