Also if opendns could implement an adblocker using an approach similar to adblock plus and their subscription services found here http://easylist.adblockplus.org/, it would make for a much more enjoyable, adfree internet experience.

By the way, OPENDNS ROCKS!!!!!:devil:]]> Ad and Malware Blocking http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=620&Focus=3372#Comment_3372 http://forums.opendns.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=620&Focus=3372#Comment_3372 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 19:38:21 +0000 scdaddyo
As for the filtration approach I am partial to the hosts file solution talked about here:

Thats a good idea. I think open dns already does a great job of that but if there was a way to increase child safety by blocking IM, chat room, and social blogging sites like myspace, xanga, and facebook, that would be incredible as well.
