Sounds pretty good - private DNS is a nice touch

There are emerging vendors who offer a hardened web browser
that only allows the user to access certain pre-vetted web sites. The
one I saw demo'd today is based on the Mozilla code base. The UI looks
like a stripped-down Firefox. While it's running all other Windows
programs (inc. any key loggers or other malware) are more or less
suspended. Only SSL communication is allowed. The browser also uses a
private DNS server to avoid DNS poisoning and a signed URL list to
avoid bookmark poisoning.
Sounds kind of like Safe Browsing?
