Can anyone recommend a solution for child-friendly web browsing on the NOOK HD?

Things I've tried:

Chrome. The Android Chrome browser doesn't allow extensions, which could provide a solution.
Firefox. There is FoxFilter, but it's not compatible with the version of Firefox available in the Google Play store
Ranger Pro Safe Browser. Crashes immediately.
Norton Family. Didn't seem to block anything; has to be restarted every time you change profiles.
Funamo: Didn't seem to block anything.
Qustodio: Crashed and could not be removed due to administrator settings.
McAfee. I don't think it worked either.

Another thing: without being able to access the administrator settings, a lot of these apps are impossible to remove.

Has anyone found a solution that works, that will allow my seven-year-old to safely use the internet with my worrying about him coming across an inappropriate site?

Thanks.
