Kidsplorer is a safe browser for kids on Windows, built for children ages 6–12. You choose the websites it opens; everything else stays blocked inside Kidsplorer. Other browsers and apps on the computer need separate controls. Install it free from the Microsoft Store and set up your account in the app.

A school portal, a reading programme, a maths activity, and a few reviewed games can give a young child useful places to learn. Kidsplorer lets you choose that set of websites and manage it as your child's needs change. Navigation to other domains stays blocked inside the browser until you approve it.
An allow-list browser suits activities built around selected resources. If your child needs unfamiliar sources throughout a research project, consider how you will review new requests. Our allow-list and content-filter comparison explains the choices; the Kidsplorer feature guide shows the parent workflow.
Start with known learning resources and review the wider domain before adding it. An approved website can contain many pages, and its content can change after your review.
Kidsplorer controls navigation in its own browser. Use a standard child account and configure appropriate application restrictions if other browsers or programs should remain unavailable.
On Family, manage requests in the dashboard and optionally by email review link. Check the requested domain yourself before making it available to the child's profile.
Family supports up to five profiles. On a shared family PC, a PIN-protected picker lets each child open their own list. Review each child's sites as their needs change.
Visited-page addresses are recorded for the parent for up to 30 days. Kidsplorer does not capture screenshots, keystrokes, messages, or location. It enforces domain rules inside its own browser.
Build the allow-list — sometimes called a website whitelist — from reviewed domains. Navigation to other domains is blocked inside Kidsplorer; approval can permit several pages within a domain.
On Family, set several allowed time windows per weekday and one daily limit. Outside them, Kidsplorer locks. Your child can request 15 more minutes for you to review.
Enabled site-request emails open a secure confirmation page without a dashboard login. Approved domains arrive on the device's next sync.
Family covers up to five profiles and Windows devices, managed from one guardian dashboard. Free covers one computer and one profile.
Microsoft Store handles Kidsplorer delivery and updates according to your Windows settings.
Children do not create dashboard accounts or need email addresses. Kidsplorer does not sell personal information or use browsing activity for behavioral advertising.
Free connects one computer and one child profile with 10 curated starter sites ready to use. Family adds unlimited approved sites, up to five profiles and devices, schedules, device protection (kiosk mode, browser lock, app-switching prevention for the Kidsplorer window), and email site and time requests. Other apps and browsers need separate controls; use a standard Windows account for your child.
