They also recently released KidZui as a Firefox add-on, which also offers a Linux version. KidZui works on both Windows and Mac OS.

My kids use Edubuntu and it installed there fine. Lefty – I think there is a Windows install – but it is also available as a standalone Firefox plugin.

I wouldn't trust anything to keep a windows machine safe, personally. But there are likely plenty of people out there who would like this. I prefer to keep my computer safe by keeping the whole computer *safe*, not just away (with this app) from some pages that infect Windows; I run Debian and I have installed Debian machines for children with dozens of Free (and free), safe childrens games. Not quite the Internet, I know. Safer though. > http://www.kidzui.com/downloading

So far I've been happy with the Pro Con Latte Firefox plugin - I basically use it for the whitelist feature. Tried this but kids said it was too slow (their computer is a bit old).

We saw them on the Today show back in the summer and it was a blessing for our family. Our kids our 3, 7 and 9 and they fight over it. I wish it had e-mail for my 9 year old but we got around that by opening up g-mail for him at the parent website. We have tried a number of things in our house with little luck before using Kidzui.

It's great to know something like this exists, and I'm extremely happy to know there are people out there trying to make the internet/computer friendly for very young kids. By the way I also have fond memories of playing text based stuff (space wars, anarchy online or something like that...) with my brother.

I have been using it for computer at my work and for kids at home. It does an awesome job at filtering, and their website database is much larger than anyone else. I tried many different methods but this is by far the best one. SO USE www.OpenDNS.com JUST USE THE AWESOME FREE FILTERING SERVICE PROVIDED BY OPENDNS.COM.
