The kids only have their computer in the front room, in my line of
sight. Even so, when around at my parents without Glubble on, the lad
went to google and entered "swinging games" as a search term, to try and
find the Tarzan game he had  played at school. Thankfully my mum was on
the ball and spotted he was on Google. Glubble got installed on a
profile there pretty fast too ;)

Either way, 20secs is all it takes before they see something they
shouldn't. And you can't make them un-see it after. You can be careful,
but "parenting" alone isn't enough. As I am sure you know, and not what
you mean to imply ;)
