Help Setting up a Windows 11 Machine for a Kid (lemmy.world)

I'm currently setting up a windows 11 machine for a kid and want to make sure that their traffic is easily monitored. I've debloated much of it. Normally, I'd get rid of Edge and put on Firefox. But I noticed that Microsoft Family has the ability to monitor website usage.

I was wondering if there's similar functionality with Firefox or Chrome.

I'm most familiar with the iOS parental toolkit.

Finally, I want to let him have some access to some games, but I don't want him to purchase any games yet. I'm open to suggestions to getting this aspect locked in as well. I was just going to mimic my set up with Playnite. But I haven't really dug into it yet.

Setup a dns guardian system to make sure that they are not accessing some forbidden web pages (like only fans or Instagram). This extra layer of annoyance is pretty useful because there a lot of apps for kids with obvious holes to side load web pages that always keep me wondering if they were there by intention.

Apart of that I would setup a restricted shell to execute only the approved apps.

Cheers! I like this idea. Thanks.
