In the digital age, everyone is tech savvy, and none more so than the current Miss America. I mean come on she has her own web browser for god sake. I thought this was a joke when I first heard about it, but it turned out to be true. Miss America, inspired by a bad encounter in a chat room when she was 13, has launched her web browser to keep the kids safe! What a sweet heart.

So how does this browser protect kids? Well it only allows the user to visit sites that are reviewed, pre-screened and approved by the Miss America web team.
Some of the other amazing features are: A fun and beautiful interface girls love, educational games that teach internet safety, and my favorite - an animated Miss America that offers encouraging words to your child.

I think its main selling point, only letting the user visit approved sites, will be its downfall. Perhaps it will work for children under the age of 8, but anyone older than that will probably need access to the more information than the Miss America web browser will allow.

In all honesty its a good idea and effort to help protect the young ones out there and its probably a better browser than I.E. I seriously doubt this idea will catch on, but perhaps it will shed some light on ways to implement stricter parental controls into browsers with a bigger market share. It will be interesting to see how many downloads the browser receives and to read the reviews on how safe it really is. Only time will tell if Miss American can take over the internet and get her face on every browser your child uses.
