The most reliable way to limit website access is to use the built-in
firewall (built into Linux, not the browser). Current versions of
Linux use ipchains; older versions use iptables or ipfw (the BSDs,
including OSX, also use ipfw).
You'll have to RTFM from here, and here's the FM! ;-)

Just a correction, FreeBSD and OS X/Darwin use ipfw.  NetBSD uses 
ipfilter.  OpenBSD uses pf if I'm not mistaken.
