Glubble: The Kids Are Alright
Summary
Glaxstar, a Firefox plugin developer, has launched an extension for the popular browser which allows parents to sandbox the internet. Glubble, which, according the site, is short for "global bubble," is essentially an extensive white list filter. With the add-on installed users can only visit pre-approved sites, allowing parents to filter online content and control what their children are exposed to on the net. There are a number of other content filtering solutions out there, but Glubble offers some very fine tuned features including the ability to search Google and only return approved sites. If youre familiar with the Ad-block Plus add-on, Glubble offers very similar means of building a whitelist and preferences can be set for children as well as adult users of the same Firefox install.
