BumperCar 2.1.1

BumperCar is a Mac OS X Web browser for kids.
It offers unparalleled content control and customization features, making it the most powerful Web browser for concerned educators and parents on the Macintosh.
BumperCar earned a prestigious Best of Show Award at MacWorld San Francisco 2004.
BumperCars start page is attractive, and encourages children to explore a collection of kid-friendly sites. Browse the Internet by clicking on any of the categories, or type a destination in the Address or Search fields. Children may also guide the bumper car into the Tunnel of Mystery to be teleported to a kid-safe site.
BumperCar can be configured to be in either a Home, School or Pre-School setting, with personalized features appropriate for each location.
The colorful interface artwork also appears on custom error pages, such as when BumperCar blocks a page.
The Grown-Ups Menu contains the features of BumperCar that set it apart from other browsers. In addition to the browsers preset preferences, the Safety Settings item allows you to individualize your kids Internet experience. Only someone with an administrator password can adjust the Safety Settings. This prevents children without administrator access from bypassing or changing the selected restrictions. Mac OS X makes multi-user computing easy, but just in case you dont use multiple accounts, or an administrator forgets to logout, the password must be entered every time.
BumperCar uses OmniWeb technology from The Omni Group, providing the stable cocoa foundation necessary for any modern Mac Web browser. It also uses Apples WebCore and JavaCore frameworks that are built into Mac OS X, just like Apples Safari. WebCore is one of the most standards-compliant page renderers available on any platform. As these frameworks improve, BumperCar inherits their improvements.
BumperCar handles the following technologies elegantly, without the need for installing extra plug-ins: HTML, XML, XHTML, DOM, CSS, Java, JavaScript, QuickTime, Flash, and Shockwave.
