Windows 10: Microsoft Family web site restriction over MS Edge browser

Hello, As suggested by Microsoft help section, I've removed Chrome from the computer and have started to use EDGE in my child's account. I've set everything up on Microsoft Family Safety and everything works fine. There are couple of things which doesn't work and I need them to work desperately as my child is diverting from online education to these open doors. :1. YOUTUBE cannot be restricted. EDGE is being used and YOUTUBE is in my restricted web sites list. Even I have "Only use allowed web sites" ON. 2. Some DOS based .EXE type games cannot be restricted. E.g. Undertale Sans Gam

:)

 

New edge broswer allowed all websites regardless of microsoft family restrictions

I found the new edge browser became an app like an third party browser and the activities in the new edge browser is not tracked by the Microsoft family. Kids can access all websites without any restrictions. The old edge browser still works well.

 

Microsoft Family Turning off YouTube "Restricted Mode" in Edge Browser

The strangest thing is happening on my computer. Ever since I enrolled my family in Microsoft Family with parental controls set to filter adult content, YouTube continually reverts to "unrestricted" mode, which allows pornography and all kinds of content
that I do not want my kids viewing. Specifically, I have blocked all browsers except Microsoft Edge (and I cannot block Internet Explorer, which is incorporated into Edge). Edge keeps reverting to "unrestricted" mode, but when I open YouTube in Internet
Explorer, the "restricted" mode is retained. Is there a way to block Edge and allow Internet Explorer, or to keep Edge from reverting like this???

The following link attempts to addresses this issue, but I have already enacted the proposed remedies and they do not seem to be relevant:

child account and restricted mode

Please help.

 

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
