We use it on all the computers in our home and it can be password protected so that the little ones (and not so little ones...lol) can't bypass it. Doesn't work when booting from LiveCD's though.

Never so much technology has been available to everyone. From a very young age, children start with a computer connected to the Internet then graduate very quickly in the name of parent security with mobile phones, they are the new generation of connected kids. For these kids social interactivity is happening through emails, SMS and of course what it is called “Social” sites with the likes of Facebook and others.

I always look for ways for my daughters to surf the web and be safe and your product does that. I do like getting new ideas for items but nothing (so far to be fair) meets what glubble offers. We have even got a few other families using it now. Thanks! Alexander,

In our experience parents should not focus on closing the entire computer down, instead it is much better to teach children responsible behavior from early ages on. Glubble provides families the tools to do just that (plus a whole lot more family activities). @Chris. We have always chosen specifically for Firefox as it simply is the fastest and safest web browser there is. A perfect fit for our goal to protect and support families on the web. Bets regards, Alexander Joel,

Browser plugins or local services are no match. This will work when they are young…but when they are young teenagers they know as well as we do how to find ways around stuff…you Google it…There’s just countless ways around something installed locally. A separate browser can run from a USB drive…Ever herd of a live Linux CD like Knoppix? Most know how to just re-install Windows…etc. Also, keep in mind we have so many ways’ to access the Internet..PS3, Wii, etc Chuck hit the nail on the head. You have to move the filter to a device they physically can’t access. Don’t underestimate the innovation of a persistent young boy in search for porn. Browser plugins or local services are no match.

AS far as i know it works as a plugin for firefox but i hear they were doing something for IE. I will look at the 2 listed here (thanks) and even look into your idea also Chuck. thanks Chuck i would agree with you up until 5 months ago when i discovered glubble.
