In addition to Chrome, it supports Safari, Edge, Firefox (on Windows only), Opera and Brave. It can lock any unsupported browser with a password.
Below are the steps.

2. When you open it for the first time, set a password. It’s recommended to select the Launch at System Startup checkbox.

Note: This note is for Windows users. In step 5, when you go to the Web Block tab for the first time, you will be prompted to install an extension on Chrome. Install this extension and then select the Block Porn checkbox in this extension, which will automatically block all porn sites. You can ignore the rest steps.
Now the porn content is blocked on Chrome (and any other supported browser) permanently as long as AppCrypt is running. When one tries to open a blocked porn site or page, it won’t open.
There are 2 ways to unblock blocked porn on Chrome: removing the sites/keywords from the block list, or quitting AppCrypt. They all require the password.
Tip 1: To block porn from yourself, you can ask a trusted person (like a family member or a friend) to set the password in step 2. Without knowing the password, you won’t be able to bypass the blocking.
Tip 2: If you want, you can block access to all web content except certain sites (like sites needed for work or study). To do so, turn on Block all websites, click Exceptions, and then add these sites under the Always Allow tab. This way, all porn content will be inaccessible.
Tip 3: If you want to block a website (like youtube.com) at certain times instead of permanently, add this site under the Web Block tab instead.

This Chrome porn blocker extension will automatically block a lot of porn/adult websites.
If a certain porn site isn’t automatically blocked by this extension, you can manually add it. To do so, first click the Extensions icon in your Chrome toolbar and pin this extension. And the extension’s icon will appear in the toolbar. Now open this specific site, click the said icon, click Ban this site, turn on Block this entire site, and then click Block this site.
Tip: You can save some of your favorite websites, music, articles, etc. that inspire you on PorNo! When you feel that you could not overcome your porn addiction, click the EMERGENCY button on this Chrome porn blocker. It will open all you saved links.
This extension works a bit differently, but is as useful as the above one when it comes to blocking adult content on Chrome. It can do the following things.
Below are the steps.
1. Add Netfencer Porn Block to your Chrome.
2. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Pin this extension.
3. Click its icon in the toolbar and click the settings icon .
4. On the left, choose Block Sites. Add adult or other inappropriate websites to the Blocked Site list one by one.
5. On the left, choose Blocked Keywords. You can add new keywords and remove default keywords based on your needs.
6. On the left, choose Trusted Sites. Add the websites (like Wikipedia) that you don’t want this porn blocker to work on.
The last step is optional but recommended. If sex-related content or words are shown in an educational, news, or other non-porn context, it’s likely that you don’t want to get the content blocked.
