Microsoft adds child mode to its Edge browser
Microsoft has released a beta version of the Edge 90 browser, the most notable innovation in introducing a child mode. Testing will continue over the next few weeks, with the browser’s stable version expected to launch in about a month.
The child mode is a kind of “sandbox” inside the browser and is intended for use by children in the age groups from 5 to 8 years old and from 9 to 12 years old. This mode uses Bing SafeSearch to provide access to “friendly content.” There is also a predefined list of trusted resources that can be edited while using the browser.
In children’s mode, the browser will provide articles targeted at the appropriate age group of users to change the design themes. At the same time, a high level of confidentiality is ensured, preventing tracking of user activity. Kid Mode can be activated using the Profile Picker tool, and you don’t need a Microsoft account to do so. This is probably because there are no ads in this mode, and tracking is blocked.
Edge 90 has other improvements that were previously tested in beta versions of the browser by the Microsoft Insider Program members. We are talking about improvements in the collection management process and the interaction with PDF files. After conducting the necessary testing, Microsoft will begin rolling out a stable version of the browser on a large scale.
