as i replied in the comment below, the goal isn't "absolute porn free paradise," it's "keep our current control working." sound shortsighted to you? it is. it's also the easiest thing, and frees everyone up to do other, more important work than impressing people who are aghast that an organization would uninstall 1 of 2 browsers b/c it bypasses some control of theirs.

as for once chrome implements DOH, they'd cross that bridge when they came to it. it's an uphill battle, because really content filtering, of course, should not be done through browser settings (remotely managed or otherwise), nor solely through DNS. if whoever tells IT what to do in that school district is hellbent on it being impossible to browse to pornhub, they'll ultimately need a layer 7 firewall. but again, when you're on the budget, you do fastest / cheapest / most effective.

(and if we return to pure hypothetical, i would argue that dns filtering really is the best way in their case, because anyone who could bypass that--besides just using firefox--will be able to bypass better chrome config, or your firefox config change, etc, since they can just edit host file, etc etc etc)
