Microsoft and British agency create child-friendly version of IE9
Author: Nancy Kennedy
As the entry age for web access heads ever southwards, preventing young minds from the perils of the internet is a growing concern for parents. For this reason, Microsoft teamed up with the UK-based CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center) to create a special kid-friendly version of its IE9 browser. Access to key CEOP pages are baked right in, and there are dedicated tabs for the thinkuknow.co.uk information site and, of course, Bing. Additional security comes via a Jump List that lets parents and care-givers set the age group of their child and prevents them from seeing unsuitable content. It’s only available on Windows 7, and you’ll need to prevent your curious children from using any other browser, but at least it’s extra peace of mind at no extra cost.
