  2. Add Back to Block Chrome Browser in Family Setting for a child

    So, this document does not explain how to add Chrome back to the blocked browser list. When you go to the content restrictions page under the age steetings it provides a complete list of Blocked Browsers. I had removed Chrome from the list previously and
    now i want to add Chrome back to the list. There is no add option showing. Only allows a browser to be removed.
