As a parent I was more interested in the "supervised users" feature to monitor your children's internet usage. Parents desperately need something simple to help them make sure that their children are safe on the internet.
Most solutions are far too technical for most parents to understand and their children are more technically aware than they are, even at a young age.
It is of course important that parents can educate their children about the dangers of the internet, but such a feature is like having stabilisers on a bike. Once your children show you that they can be trusted the you can take the supervision off and give them the privacy they they too deserve.
I think Google is hitting a sweet spot if they can get that feature right.
