Block adult websites
I want to block adult content and pornography, but seems i can only do so by entering in the websites or keywords? How can i possibly know every keyword or website to block? I would prefer using OpenDNS which does this for me, but seems comcast xfinity modem will not work with Open DNS.

You should be aware that it is absolutely impossible to block every adult/pornographic website. There are far too many variables, and the websites work very hard to get around such filtering.
If you want greater control, you would be better off with a third party router/modem, one that gives you far greater control than what is available with any xfinity provided hardware.
Hosting solutions like OpenDNS do a fair job of blocking adult websites, but it is far from perfect. It takes time for new websites to be identified, and as I stated earlier, the bigger adult websites invest heavily in finding ways to circumvent such filtering.
It will always be a never ending battle, regardless of whatever route you choose.
