Block Google Chrome for Child

I have 5 kids to setup content restrictions for. Though I love that Microsoft gives the power to have the safety features it does, the process is RIDICULOUS if you are doing it for more than 1 child!!!

I attempted to setup my 3 younger kids to only have access to a couple of specific websites, but no other sites. During that process I removed Google Chrome from the blocked apps list. What I did not know was that I had to use Microsoft Edge (one of the
worst browsers ever) to use the feature that only allows certain sites. So now Google Chrome is no longer a blocked app, but yet the site has no way to just add it back.

I looked up how to block an app and was SHOCKED by the official info from Microsoft. See Below. Basically your kid has to use an app before you can add it to the blocked list. Doesn't that defy the purpose of having safety features for a child?

Besides... I used my child's account and opened Chrome, yet it still DID NOT show up in their activity list in order to block it. NOW WHAT?

FROM MICROSOFT

Blocking specific apps is possible with the Microsoft Account's Family Safety Feature. To block a specific application on your child's account, it is a requirement that the app must be used by your child, so that it will appear in under the Recent Activity
list. For your child's security, you can log in as the child and launch the app to satisfy this requirement.

Follow these steps to successfully block specific applications:

1. Visit the Microsoft Family website and then sign in your Microsoft Account.
2. Click the account of the child that you want to block from using an app.
3. Select Recent Activity.
4. Click to ensure that Activity Reporting is turned on.
5. Scroll down and look for Apps & Games.
6. Choose the apps that you want to block on your child's account.
7. Click Block to block usage of the app.

 

Query about allowing or blocking specific websites in family safety

Hello Chin,

We realize your requirement in this regard.

Yes, once you unblock a website, your child will be able to access that particular website without any restrictions. You need to block it back, if your child don't want to access it.

There's a lot of great things to learn about on the Internet, but also lots of things you don't want your kids to stumble on. Turn on web browsing limits if you want to block sites that provide adult content, or to allow or block individual websites or webpages
by using their web addresses or URLs. For young children, you can set up web browsing limits so they can only visit a small number of sites that you specifically allowed.

To set up web browsing limits

• 
  Sign in to
  family on the Microsoft account website.
  
• 
  Select the child you want to turn on web browsing limits for.
  
• 
  Select Web browsing, and switch Block inappropriate websites from
  Off to On.
  
  Now, adult content is blocked and SafeSearch is on when your child uses the most common search engines.
  
• 
  If you want your child to only see websites you've explicitly allowed, check the box next to
  Only see websites on the allowed list.
  

To allow or block specific websites

• 
  Sign in to
  family on the Microsoft account website.
  
• 
  Select the child you want to turn on web browsing limits for.
  
• 
  Select Web browsing.
  
• 
  To add a site to their allow list, go to Always allow these and enter the
  URL of a website you want to allow.
  
• 
  To add a site to their block list, go to Always block these and enter the
  URL of a website you want to block.

Allow or Block Cookies in Google Chrome in Windows


Hi Brink,
Yes, cookies resemble items found in SpywareBlaster. I have exercised the #$%^ out of SpywareBlaster to get rid of Chrome Blocked cookies. I posted over on Chrome Help Forum asking whether they're Chrome default.
No joy.
I created Person 2 to see if they're in new user (presume) default profile. They're there.



They're not hurting anything, as far as I know.
I'm just Chrome newbie curious how cookies came to be listed as Blocked.




Thanks
Regards w Respect
