Dev channel update to 90.0.796.0 is live
Thank you for the update, very good stuff,
btw, I had the opportunity to try out the new Kids mode in Edge,
very nice feature that is free, doesn't need too much technical background like group policy etc.
just one question, is it supposed to let kids tab out or press Window button to use a different browser?
currently the Windows Pin requirement is only for when trying to close the Kids mode, but the person can just press Window button on keyboard or Alt + Tab to switch to another app/browser.
would it be possible to completely lock down the PC and restrict the Kids window so the user won't be able to switch/open other apps? (without group policy and only Kids mode/family safety)

Yes, that would be great.

HotCakeX Kids mode is still missing some functionality before we're ready to talk about it, but as you can see we have started the rollout! Once we make the official announcement, see if the behavior you mention is still the same. I suspect it will be since those are Windows-level shortcuts that I don't believe we have the power to overpower, but you never know!

I just wanted to give an early feedback, because this is very fundamental, I mean you can't restrict a kid with Windows Pin/Password and then tell them not to press Windows button on the keyboard, it just won't work, it's a very simple and obvious thing that can't be prevented.
so I hope before this feature is finalized, you apply this change.
and I mean Edge and Windows are teams inside the same company, there needs to be coordination, no need to overpower anyone, just make a unified feature that works for the end user, if there needs to be coordination between teams, then do it please, I'm sure the goal of all the employees is to make a good product that is useful, thank you 🙂
