Microsoft Edge's new child-friendly 'Kids Mode' is now generally available and has begun rolling out to users in the USA. In February, Microsoft announced a new child-friendly Kids Mode designed for children between the ages of 5-8 and 9-12 that provides a safe environment for children to browse the web and consume family-friendly content.
What is nice about Microsoft Edge's Kids Mode is that you do not have to set up parental controls, install software on different devices, or deal with a lengthy configuration.
When launched for the first time, Microsoft Edge will ask parents the age range to configure Kids Mode, with the ability to select a 5-8 year mode or 9-12.
As kids love to customize a screen and make it their own, Kids Mode comes with various themes that children can select.
To prevent kids from accessing any site they want, Kids Mode will only allow access to a preconfigured list of sites.
Parents can further configure Microsoft Edge's Kids Mode through the Settings -> Family screen to specify the age for the Mode and what sites children are allowed to access.
