    Microsoft Edge can block Google Chrome when web filtering is enabled through Microsoft Family Safety. This feature is designed to help parents manage their children's online activities by allowing them to filter websites and control browser access. When web filtering is active, Microsoft Edge is set as the default browser for children, and any unsupported browsers, including Chrome, need parental approval to be used.

    If you're experiencing issues with Chrome being blocked, it may be due to these parental controls. Additionally, if the Activity reporting feature is disabled, there could be unexpected shutdowns when attempting to open unsupported browsers like Chrome. To resolve this, you might consider adjusting the Family Safety settings to permit access to Chrome or other browsers after obtaining parental consent.

    Hi, I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
    For security and control, the Google Chrome can be blocked on Microsoft Family Safety. If you don't want that, or it is a mistake, please, contact the family organizer to remove the block.
