Edge Stable Fluent Big 256 Icon

Microsoft Edge 90 joins the Chrome 90 release party, and brings Kids Mode and Password Monitor to all users in the stable branch. Here are the key changes in this release.

What's new in Edge 90

Kids Mode

This mode will make Edge more attractive to children, will ensure they are safe on the Internet and visit only approved websites. It is primarily focused on children between the age of 5-12 years.

 

When enabled, Kids Mode will apply unique themes for children and turn on Bing SafeSearch. It will also block all the websites except those marked by Microsoft as "kids-friendly" or predefined by parents or caregivers. Kids Mode comes with a list of 70 kid-safe websites, but you can add or remove sites of your choice. Kids Mode is available from the profile selection menu, and you will be able to configure it using the Family settings in Microsoft Edge. There is a detailed blog post about this feature.

Password Monitor

The Password Monitor feature is intended to check if the passwords you use are weak or already compromised. It will check your passwords against a collection of compromised accounts. Microsoft Edge will inform you if it finds your credentials in the breach database, and will also help you change the password for sites where you use the same username and password pair. You can also manually scan for compromised passwords in Microsoft Edge.

Other changes

Download Microsoft Edge

If you are an existing Edge user, all you need to do is to wait until the update will be received automatically in your operating system. You can also manually trigger the update process by opening Help > About Microsoft Edge from the browser's menu.

You can also download it manually from the official web site.
