Microsoft Edge Adds Child Mode With Customizable Features

Microsoft could boast of its Office software and many other amazing goodies brought to the market. Later the Redmond-based company entered the hardware market with its Surface series laptops (and not only). We mean Microsoft is a game-changer and no one can deny this. No matter you like it or not, we have what we have. But there has always been one product that this company was cursed for. That’s the Internet Explorer browser. As you remember, there was a meme, saying ‘Internet Explorer is a browser for downloading other browsers.’ Anyways, everything changed with the Microsoft Edge. Every day, this browser gets better and better.

Recently, Microsoft added a child mode to Microsoft Edge. When switching to this mode, child-friendly content appears on the home page. Users can customize the browser theme and browse according to the permission list.

The child mode is mainly to prevent children from accidentally accessing messy or unsafe content on the Internet. After entering this mode, in addition to the above functions, the default value of Bing SafeSearch will automatically switch to Strict. If necessary, you can also enter the device password to exit the child mode. This mode does not require the user to create a child account or personal information.

Any Edge user can choose to switch to child mode without logging in. But if you choose to log in, you can synchronize the settings of child mode on all devices. In addition, there are two age groups in the child mode: 5-8 years old and 9 years old or older. The browser will provide different content and themes according to different age groups.

Currently child mode only supports American English, as well as Windows and macOS operating systems.
