For the family protection DNS, it would be really good to enforce Google SafeSearch. Google tells how to do this at the DNS level here: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186669?hl=en

[edit] Also YouTube restricted mode: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6214622

From what I've been able to find, Yahoo doesn't currently have a similar feature.
