Noooo, I haven’t gone haywire. I just thought this title would catch your eye and then you can learn about this very cool tool.
Everyone knows that the Internet is a censor-less place where anyone can fake their identity, browse or publish any content whether it is appropriate or not for them. Children are no exception, they can be exposed to this content as well.
And for that reason, here’s a Firefox extension which allows you to control what your child browses right from the browser. As soon as you install this extension, you can start to add accounts for each of your family members.
Firefox’s ‘Glubble’ makes sure your kids can’t see the whole World Wide Web – they can only see ‘family friendly’ parts of the web – it’s like their own little world – Glubble World!
Glubble also filters the search results in Google or Yahoo!. So when your child searches for something, he sees a page of filtered search results. You can also customize the look and feel to suit your child’s reading ability.
And there’s more – A site called Glubble World has lots of sites, grouped by category, which are appropriate for you child. How smart is that!
Of course, Firefox’s Glubble is free!
Another “Christmas Gift” from me to you.
