KIDO'Z is a web browser that is described by its developers as a "Kid's Web Environment". Once downloaded and installed, the browser offers a self contained web of games, websites and videos that are accessed wiith large icons. Because KIDO'Z is an Adobe Air application, it will run in Windows, Mac, or Linux.
KIDO'Z comes with an extensive collection of games, videos, and websites built-in, and these appear to have been selected carefully. The beauty of this browser, however, is that you have the option of completely customizing what is available. The browser is managed by a set of Parental Controls that can be accessed anywhere. KIDO'Z is currently available in 17 languages.
