Googling "Chrome Content Filter" shows tinyFilter and FoxFilter. tinyFilter is rated pretty highly by a lot of people, FoxFilter isn't as popular.

nice suggestion, but:
tinyfilter doesnt have any ability to prevent being uninstalled (password set)
foxfilter does have ability to prevent being uninstalled, after getting a passcode (cheap people)...

any other suggestion is welcome before i uninstall my Google Chrome...

how about firewall blocking? i forgot how to do it but it does exist. btw, why not just block via router -,- you could setup a password to protect the router's settings as well imho.

Edit:
example:
[block]=everything | [on computer]=PC1 | [except]=www.google.com (what it does: it blocks any connection coming from PC1 with an exception of www.google.com, other computers connected are not influenced.)
or
[allow]=everything | [on computer]=PC1 | [except]=www.pron.com (what it does: it allows any connection coming from PC1 with an exception of www.pron.com, other computers connected are not influenced.)

this settings is usually called "parental control", some routers supports scheduled blocking as well.

Edit: lewl it became a hotlink.

Just curious, is your main concern the security and stability of your system? In other words, you don't want your brother or dad going to dangerous sites that will infect your machine with virus, spyware, etc?

If that is the case might I recommend just running a separate OS inside VirtualBox or something? They can essentially have their own self contained sandbox to play around in with no risk of infecting Windows. Basically, you just install Windows or Linux inside of Windows and it will run just like a normal program. It's very easy to do. I'd be glad to help you out if you need assistance.

Indeed, a content filter independent from your browser is best. It's not hard to download another browser behind your back, and there are way too many out there for you to manually block all of them. A filter installed as a Chrome extension would just make Chrome less attractive to use.
