I’m currently setting up a windows 11 machine for a kid and want to make sure that their traffic is easily monitored. I’ve debloated much of it. Normally, I’d get rid of Edge and put on Firefox. But I noticed that Microsoft Family has the ability to monitor website usage.

I was wondering if there’s similar functionality with Firefox or Chrome.

I’m most familiar with the iOS parental toolkit.

Finally, I want to let him have some access to some games, but I don’t want him to purchase any games yet. I’m open to suggestions to getting this aspect locked in as well. I was just going to mimic my set up with Playnite. But I haven’t really dug into it yet.

    Edge=chrome. Just stick with edge for the convenient family features. I’m not aware of anything like that for Firefox.

      Yeah. There was a sliver of hope that he wouldn’t get caught in the enshttification of chrome and maybe escape it early with Firefox. But it sounds like it will be tough to get the monitoring I need.

      Second this. They also have add ons. So you can get ad blockers and other tools to help keep the kids safe.
