Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Most parents want a kid-friendly and safe browser for their children, but this just isn't it.
Frostzone KidSafe is a free browser program with administrative password-protection to keep your kids from getting online without your knowledge. Its interface is unattractive and won't appeal to the creative imaginations of youngsters. The only protection device it offers is the log-in ID and password, which are preset and can't be changed by the user. It doesn't offer scheduling, parental blocks, keyword bans, or blacklisting. There's no address bar; kids will have to type in where they want to go on the site's search bar and select a site from the results.
To block kids from visiting inappropriate sites, the publisher suggests you turn on "safe search" in the major search engines, something you can do without this program and something we all know kids can get around. Simply put, Frostzone KidSafe just doesn't have its own legs to stand on in safeguarding children while surfing.
Publisher's description
From Frostzone :Frostzone KidSafe is an Internet browsing system created to keep children secure while browsing the Internet. Frostzone KidSafe is more than just a Web browser with activities for kids, it's a fully functional browser that doesn't hand pick sites the child can view, put picks the ones they cannot. When a child starts up the program, they will need a parent or guardian who downloaded the software to enter them in using a password.
Additionally, the child will be allowed to type things in an address bar, however, the page they get will contain sites in our trusted index they might be looking for, if the site they are looking for is not in the index, then it is a site they shouldn't be viewing. Parents are stressed; search engines like Ask.com, Google, and Yahoo are all accessible as trusted sites, set the settings to filter results on these sites. Using Frostzone KidSafe, you can know firmly that your child is secure, and the internet serves no harm.
