It's not going to work for my kids till I can put some filtering on the web browser. They really don't need to be clicking on ads and whatnot yet.

- r00fus 15y agoCan't you filter at a higher leve (ie, the router or gateway?). A simple method would be to get the wifi version, NAT it through your desktop acting as gateway and put the filtering software there. Of course, that's a kludge and easily worked around. Compared to an iPad, currently the Chromebook is harder to filter.
- wiredfool 15y agoI could, probably. Depends on if I keep the wrt router around, but then I'd need to muck with permissions for the adults in the family. They're not doing internetty stuff on the ipad, mostly garage band and angry birds. Right now, they're just on safari whitelisting and mail.app's whitelisting, and that works well enough for nearly 7 and 4, but the PPC mini that they're on is not liking flash anymore, they're getting really frustrated when the little edutainment sites don't work because they're too flash intensive and something dies.
