But to give those few users still relying on Explorer time to make the change, the company built an IE Mode into its terrific Chromium-based Edge browser. Microsoft is avidly encouraging users and organizations to switch over to a new browser, like Edge (or literally anything else). However, it will live on for a few more years via IE Mode, for those still relying on older apps and websites requiring IE11. We considered many aspects of the experience: How do parents easily add and remove allowed sites? What does it look like when a child tries to navigate to a site that is not allowed? Once we had initial designs that we felt good about, we showed them to groups of parents and received valuable insights that we took back to the drawing board to make the experience even better.Last year, Microsoft officially announced that its iconic legacy browser, Internet Explorer, will be put out to pasture on June 15, 2022. Our first goal was to create an experience that inspired parents’ confidence, while being simple and intuitive to use and manage. With a driving purpose of protecting kids online, we embarked on the journey of creating Kids Mode.
We also collaborated with Disney to create custom Microsoft Edge themes from several animated movies like Disney’s “Frozen,” “The Little Mermaid,” and Disney and Pixar’s “Finding Nemo,” “Cars,” “Toy Story” and “Coco.” You’ll see additional Disney and Pixar Microsoft Edge browser themes added to our theme picker in the coming months. Your kids can personalize their browsing experience with several fun new browser themes that unlock wonder and discovery. How to launch Kids Mode in Microsoft Edge Kids Mode was created not only to give parents peace of mind instantly and easily, but also to create a world that is very much designed for kids – more on that below. Ultimately, this is what inspired us to roll up our sleeves and create a new mode built natively into Microsoft Edge.
We started digging into this and found that while there are a lot of great solutions in the market today, they often entail a laborious set-up, can require a subscription, and generally don’t offer anything for the other users of their service: kids.
parents with children aged 12 and younger, 58% are concerned with the issues their children face when using digital products and services, and while the majority are aware of parental control solutions, only about half are actually using one today. parents are impacted by what we call the “hand-off scenario.” This is that all too familiar situation of letting your child access the web from a shared device when you’re working, making dinner, picking up scattered toys, or doing any of the million things parents do daily.
