Not content with the content filtering built in to your favorite OS? Well, now you can filter via the Firefox browser. Glaxstar, a Firefox plugin developer, has launched an extension for the popular browser which allows parents to sandbox the internet.
[Glubble][1], 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 parent to filter online content and control what their children are exposed to on the net.
Glubble is a free add-on and you can grab your copy from the site, but keep in mind that it's currently in a beta test phase.
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 you're 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.
Glubble is targeting children under 12, but frankly I'd be surprised if a 12-year couldn't figure out how to circumvent it. Still for the younger children Glubble gives parents an added layer of filtering possibilities.
