Yes, we would like to see Glubble available in as many languages possible and plan to roll out language support towards the end of 2008. To do so we need help to translate Glubble into your language. Anyone who is interested in helping us with translations please e-mail us at volunteer@glubble.com for more information and to avoid duplicate efforts.
Firefox is the most popular "chosen" web browser and the safest in our view. Glaxstar develops add-ons for Firefox in furtherance of the growth and adoption of Mozilla Technology . Glubble is the company's latest Firefox add-on.
We are working on a website to enable you to sign in and manage your children's browsing. In the mean time you can persuade your company to switch to Firefox, they know its the better browser, they just need a reason to take time to switch.
No. No one can buy their way into our editorially selecting sites for Glubbles. We may in the future offer special downloads from particular companies but when this happens it will be clear that downloading a specific version includes specific Glubbles as standard.
We plan to offer the base service for free and charge for additional optional services we will provide in the future.
No, our search engine on the users homepage uses the Mozilla Firefox default tag.
Glubble is not just for parents, it is for any family member with a child member of elementary school age. The whole family can link up browser to browser to accompany their loved ones online where ever they are.
We believe problems are solved one piece of the puzzle at a time, the challenges facing parents of older children are different to parents of youngsters. Existing Parental control solutions have not done a good job of addressing this fact. We are starting by solving the problems for younger children first, then we will progress to addressing the problems facing older children.
They don't have to, they can be deleted all in an instant and you can add just your own approved sites for your children.
Yes we have received very positive and thankful feedback from parents! Children love it! They can explore the web in a safely matter and with Glubble they just have the best of the web.
We think children like it for many reasons, to name two...
(1) it gives children the best of the web so they can use google to search and discover things in knowledge that their parents approve.
(2) children like to connect with family and friends online, sending messages and asking for new sites.
No Glubble does not spy or record any browsing activity.
Google have seen it and have not officially commented. We believe it's absolutely necessary for young children to use their search engines to explore and discover things online from trusted Glubbles instead of the whole World Wide Web. For parents and older helpers their search results remain 100% unchanged while Glubble is installed. Glubble does not interfere with normal Firefox operations for grown ups.
As at January 2008 we have over 40,000 registered users.
Our founder is a Mozilla contributor and has been the lead administrator of Mozillas community marketing outreach at www.spreadfirefox.com for the past two years.
Mozilla and Glaxstar are independent and separate companies. Mozilla does not pay Glaxstar to develop Glubble. We promote Firefox because we believe and align with their core mission of choice and innovation on the Internet.
We have offices in London, Palo Alto, Amsterdam and San Jose Costa Rica. We have head offices in the USA (inc) and UK (ltd)
Our goal for Glubble is to protect as many children on the web as possible with the help of their families and friends!
Glubble is a product of Glaxstar. Glaxstar makes money by helping companies like eBay, Yahoo and Google spread Firefox to more people by authoring software solutions and providing compelling reasons for users to switch to Firefox from their third party service integrations.
Glubble is also supported by private investors who believe in the concept of putting the power to control the web in the hands of children's families. As we develop Glubble, we may introduce optional premium services that parents may choose to upgrade to.
As of January 2008, over 20 people work for Glubble and growing fast. Want to join?
Because these its the most popular search engines in our research.
Yes we are currently developing search altering software for Yahoo and Ask too.
They need to be discovered by our Editor in Chief or his team. Site owners can identify themselves to Glubble.
After much research I came across this GREAT firefox extension called Glubble. At the time I liked the idea, but it was still in beta and was difficult to navigate... well, today they released a new version and it is AWESOME!

"I almost purchased the Fisher Price Easy Link Launchpad for my kids but I wasn't anxious to have yet another toy piled on top of my laptop, desktop, printer, and drawing software. Glubble has been a much better option for so many reasons. (Did I mention that it is free too)?"
