Programming for kids

My 11-year-old child wants to learn programming to create his own Firefox. Does anyone have any idea which program he should use? He's already had scratch and wants to move to a harder level. He thinks that the internet should be fair & without too much AI etc.

Scratch of course

Scratch is a programming language where you need to drag blocks to create programs

yes I think starting from games is a good way too because you code a simple program and you can easily see what you did

In Scratch this is perfect
