I’m Cliff Boro; the CEO and one of the Co-Founders of KidZui.

Thanks for linking about KidZui’s new FireFox add-on. Some interesting comments here. :)

We’re excited about the FF release — we just released around a week ago, and we love the work that Bring King and his group did in building it. I’m sorry if Bastian had a poor experience — but perhaps he used an early “experimental” release. We’ve already made several updates and QA looks really good on the current version. Of course — we are totally open to feedback — although a little less profanity and a little more specificity would be appreciated.

We’ve spent $10mm to human-review more than 1.5mm websites, videos, and pictures — and created an entirely new UI for kids to browse, search, share, and discover all of this great content. We give away all of the safety and content for free — and we’re proud to do so.

I can be reached directly at cliff.boro@kidzui.com and the suggestion box is open.

Best,

Cliff

They struck a good balance of letting kids surf (where I don't have to look over their shoulder) without being too limiting. Works great, have not experienced any problems.</p> Love it.

I'll see me back here for more browser news. Sorry, to be so offensive. I mean the Kidzui add-on really sucks. They're trying to beat Mozilla's love bird Glaxtar's Glubble. I guess I just got carried away. I like Glaxstar and think these guys do a good job. And I know their add-ons are always of excellent quality, Ebay, Digg, and others.</p> <p>Personally I think great times are here for Mozilla, but we have to allow it space and grounds, if you see what I mean. Good selection will help. I mean s*ckers like Kidzui compared to Ebay wizards from Glaxstar is THE difference. With this Kidzui toy the Mozilla community will never succeed, with Glaxstar, and for comparison, their Glubble add-on, Mozilla makes a difference.</p> <p>I'm not trying to endorse Glaxstar, Glubble or any of their add-ons. I try to make a case for professional development for Firefox.</p> <p>cheers, Bastian</p> Hey Nate.

Mozilla has respect for the world online. Read the Manifest, and please never ever again allow yourself to be trapped in such Kidzui nonsense.

It f*cks up your browser and that's it.</p> <p>Bastian PS sorry to spoil your blog. But you did a little bit of "doing easy" here right?
