Being force-fed this kind of thing is pretty unpleasant

If the was Microsoft, and you didn't know better, then perhaps it's fair to say you are being "force fed" this change. However, this is OSS, and nobody is forcing you to use Gnome Shell. You have options: stick with Gnome 2.x, use XFCE, KDE or any of the other window managers available. Just stop whinging about how you don't like it.

+1 for IPCop. It acts as a centralised firewall and proxy server, so you don't need to install on multiple machines in your home. The content filters allow you to block access using a hosts file, and you may find the various other plugins useful (eg disabling internet access for your daughters machine after 11:00pm). Using a combination of this and AdBlock Plus, I rarely see any adverts.
