I especially waited for the Parental control features to land in GNOME 50. Great to see they made it into the release. Now I don’t need aditional tools to enforce bedtime for my son.
Document annotations in the Document viewer is also a nice thing. But I would rather have proper Signing support via certificates for professional use cases.
I think that this should be done on the network level by providing a DNS Server via DHCP or include filtering in your router if you are afraid of users changing the DNS Server (but maybe it’s better to lock the network settings in this case).
But I see that not every User has the possibility or ability to do it this way. therefor having the option to do it in the OS is feasible for these users.
Most other circumventions require the child to know what they’re doing, while a mobile hotspot is something they would naturally use when outside of the house.

It would be nice to see web filtering as part of it. A DNS like 1.1.1.3 can easily be bypassed.

That becomes useless as soon as the child discovers the hotspot feature on their phone.
As soon as the kids get smart enough to circumvent such measures, they hopefully know their way arround the Internet
