For us adults, it's so convenient to go to just any web browser
when we need information. It's a different story when it's our kids that are
going to search the Internet. Do you have a browser that's installed on your PC
or mobile device that's specifically for your little rascals? If you haven't
got one yet, check out some of these kid-friendly browsers that your child will
truly enjoy using.
KidRex is a little different from the above-mentioned browser. First of all, the design is as if a kid actually drew it which makes it even better. It doesn’t have the images, videos, etc. options but it still offers the information you need.
KidRex also has a section where you can see the drawings kids
made of the search engine. It doesn’t say how you can send them in, but I think
you can by clicking on the “Contact Us” option at the bottom.
Kiddle is a very colorful kid-friendly browser that’s powered by Google. It features s funny-looking red robot on Mars for the kids to enjoy. Instead of the word Google, you’ll see Kiddle and the search bar where the kids can do their searching.
Just like Google, below the search bar kids can either look
for images, Web, Kimages (images from Kiddle encyclopedia), video, and
Kpedia. If you see a page that you consider inappropriate for kids, just click
on the “Site blocking” link at the bottom and fill out the short form.
KidSplorer Web Browser can also help keep your kids safe while they’re online. Your kids can only visit the sites you whitelisted, and you can remove, edit, or add URLs. You can make the browser run at startup if you want or can just manually launch it.
This kid-friendly browser can also block access to the Internet
for the times you specify. So if the kids should be doing their homework, you
can rest assured they won’t be able to go online. Kids won’t be able
to switch programs that are installed on the computer, and you can
also set up different website lists for each of your kids.
KidzSearch is a browser made especially for kids that uses Google Safe Search. This way your kids will only come across content that is suitable for their age. When they first access the browser, kids will see age-appropriate videos and content.
To the left they will see options such as music, pictures,
games, Kidz Tube and one that will take them to the top-rated kid sites. The
browser also integrates voice search and a help option as well.
Safe Search Kids not only has a very colorful design but also offers more than just a browser for kids to use. Kids can get help with their math and also read up on tips on how they can deal with cyberbullying and how to post images online.
This browser is powered by Google’s safe search too so you can
rest assured your kids won’t run into content they shouldn’t. Safe Search Kids
also has an option so kids can visit the best websites for them.
Kidoz is not only a browser for kids but also a launcher with an ad blocker, no in-app purchases for kids, kid-friendly camera and photo gallery, and there are also handpicked videos for preschoolers and babies that are updated daily.
You can either allow or disallow any of the browsing kids websites included in the app, but this would fall under the Premium features. To unlock every feature in the app, it will set you back $8.31.
