Block Tor Browser on mac

Hey!

I love screen time. I have set it to limit adult content on my childs computer and it works great. He doesn't have the admin password.

Screen time doesnt block anything on the tor browser though. Ive limited the ability to install apps but that only applies to installing apps in the apps folder and apps with setup wizards. The tor browser can pasted into any folder and just work. Ive set a time limit for 1min/day for Tor but there is a way around that.

How do i block the Tor browser to work on a mac without the admin password or some other password (im open to install 3rd party software).

Help much appreciated!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

Yep. Tor onion browser is super secure. You use it at your choice, but it’s locked down by the developer such that security in their minds is not compromised. That means you accept their decisions on security.

if you don’t want your son to use it, uninstall it.
