2. By default, the setting “Options – Save changes automatically” is checked, which means that when you add an URL to the software you don’t need to click the Apply Changes button. If “Automatically save changes” is not selected, use the “Apply changes” button to apply. Easily block any distracting or harmful website. You can click one of the browser icons at the bottom right to choose which browser to apply or unapply settings to.
