As a parent I was happy to read about this new browser for kids called KidZui. Although my kid is still too little to browse the Internet or even use the computer, it's good to know that there's technology such as this that makes browsing the Internet safe for kids. So what is KidZui? KidZui is basically a browser based on Internet Explorer (if you use Windows) and Safari (if you use a Mac) that "whitelists" websites, photos and videos that are suitable for children. 200 teachers and parents across the US were hired to scan the world wide web to look for appropriate content that would be included in the whitelist. As of now, KidZui has 500,000 whitelisted websites, pictures and videos. All content gathered by KidZui are manually reviewed by humans before they get included in the whitelist to make sure nothing inappropriate gets thru. Screenshots: Start Page Create Zui Page

If you're still not convinced with Firefox and prefer to use the Internet Explorer but would like to have some of the capabilities of Firefox, then maybe you should try IE7 Pro.

But this time it involves both browsers. At first, security researchers laid the blame for the latest zero-day exploit on Microsoft’s Internet [...]
