    Microsoft Family Features flaw


    Microsoft Family Features do not allow me to open any web browser except Microsoft Edge, which in my opinion, is an unfair means to promote Microsoft's services. Microsoft needs to understand that some websites do not work properly on Edge, such as my institute's website for learning online, and hence, I would like to use browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox I use these because these are my most preferred browsers, nothing else. This way of showing bias is unsportsmanlike, if you will. If Microsoft really doesn't want minors to use other web browsers, it should not allow them to be installed in the first place. For this very reason I have been unable to use Google Chrome as well.

    Not only web browsers, but other apps too are affected by these features. For example, I have Instagram installed on my PC and I have used it before, but now it says I need to ask for permission. Please fix this issue.

    :)
