Microsoft is introducing today anew Kids Mode for its Edge browser, which is now available in preview for Edge Insiders in the Canary channel. This new browsing mode will offer kids a tailored experience with customized themes and child-friendly content on Edge’s New Tab page, as well as special privacy and security features that should give parents more peace of mind.
This new Kids Mode in Microsoft Edge has been designed for two age groups, 5-8 and 9-12. Both groups should enjoy a safe browsing experience with Bing SafeSearch, which blocks adult-themes text, images, and videos. Kids Mode also sets Tracking prevention in Edge to Strict, which blocks a majority of ad trackers while browsing the web. When Kids Mode is enabled, Edge’s New Tab page will also be free of ads.
In addition to these specific privacy and security settings, Kids Mode will also allow parents to prevent their kids from visiting certain websites. The feature is going live today in the Canary channel, and parents can try it out via Edge’s profile picker without having to set up a family group with child accounts first.
Kids Mode is currently only available for US English users on Windows and macOS, and the Edge team will be listening to feedback to improve the experience for kids exploring the web. You can learn more about how to get started with Edge’s Kids Mode on thissupport page.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).
For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.
Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
