You manage which websites your child can access in Microsoft Edge’s Kids Mode by configuring allowed lists within the browser itself or via the Microsoft Family Safety portal.

Microsoft Edge Kids Mode offers a safe, simplified browsing environment for children, restricting access to websites only when enabled.

This mode is built into Microsoft Edge, the default browser for Windows 11 and upcoming Windows versions, providing a curated online space.

You can set up a basic allowed list of sites directly within Edge for your child’s Kids Mode profile.

⚡ Quick Answer

To manage Kids Mode websites, open Edge, go to Settings, then Family, and click Manage allowed sites in Kids Mode. Here you can add new URLs or remove existing ones.

Add or remove websites from the allowed list in Microsoft Edge

You can easily add or remove websites from the allowed list in Microsoft Edge Kids Mode to control what your child can visit.

  • Allow for this session: This gives your child one-time access to the site. It does not save the site to the permanent list.
  • Add to allowed list: This permanently adds the site to your child’s approved list so they can visit it again later.

To add a site, select Get permission on the block page. You’ll need to enter your password. This stops kids from getting around the safety filters.

First, open Kids Mode in Edge. When you see a site you want to add, click the button to grant permission.
