Kids Mode in Microsoft Edge is a built-in browser setting for Windows that blocks adult content, ads, and unapproved pages so children ages 5 to 12 can browse the web safely. This free feature restricts internet access to a pre-approved list of websites by default.

Add or remove websites from the allowed list in Microsoft Edge

Kids Mode websites Edge can be managed easily by adding specific web pages to your child’s approved list or giving them temporary access for just one browsing session. You can update these permissions at any time in your browser settings so your child only visits safe pages.

  • 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.

Approved websites join the roster by selecting "Get permission" on any blocked page. Entering a password stops children from bypassing these safety filters.

Begin by launching open Kids Mode in Edge. Clicking the grant permission button on a blocked page initiates the process.

Typing a new URL into the Add website field expands the directory. Clicking the X next to an address removes it. Automatic filtering sensitivity shifts between age-appropriate content levels, such as 6-8 or 9-12, within these same options.
