Glubble is a Firefox plugin (3.8 MB) that allows parents to control a white list of which domains their kids can visit. The service is seeded with a list of 350 approved properties for domains like Disney.com or Nickelodeon, but parents can add new domains or individual links and even combine their lists with those of other parents.

Glubble also re-skins Firefox with a simple and appealing kid-friendly look while logged into a child account. The browser under Glubble is a completely controlled environment, meaning all of your bookmarks and most of your other plugins are hidden while logged into a child account (some plugins, like Flash for example, will still work — a good thing considering how many children’s sites utilize Flash).

The plugin is exceptionally easy to install and set up. It’s installed via Firefox’s automatic plugin installation mechanism, and once you’ve restarted Firefox you’re greeted with Glubble set up screen. From there you set up your administrator accounts and the accounts for your children.
