Most people think of Google when they think of search engines. We even talk about ‘googling’ something when we mean searching for it on the internet. Google can make it tricky to find reliable websites that are easy to read for everyone, and it has ads at the top of lots of pages (Lagarde & Johnson, 2014).
The search engine KidsSearch only gives you websites that have been recommended as useful sources for kids. It doesn’t have ads before you get your search results and there are handy reminders on how to use the internet safely on its homepage.
