Microsoft started blocking other browsers

The browser war is ever present and increasingly fierce. several recent cases of services that crash browsers in the competition are known.

Microsoft seems to have now found a new way to control the browsers that run on Windows, blocking them whenever they are in accounts covered by the Microsoft Family service filters.



Since Edge came with Windows 10 that Microsoft seeks to make it the default for users, thereby eliminating the competition and gaining market share. The success of this measure has been down and the Edge continues to use very low values.

But Microsoft is now focusing on a new play, in which blocks its competitors browsers, thus ensuring that the Edge and Internet Explorer are the only alternatives. In the accounts that are in the Microsoft Family service, Microsoft is applying these rules, as can be read on the information provided.

"Many of the commonly used browsers have Web filtering. To keep smaller safer, these browsers will be automatically blocked on the devices. You can always choose to allow the lowest use other browsers."

The lack of content filters is the reason given for these locks, but Microsoft does not specifically which browsers that is preventing you from being used. As it is known that Edge and Internet Explorer, Microsoft's browser, can be used.



Despite these locks browsers and other applications can be allowed to be used by simply users to add to the list of allowed applications, but this is a step that not everyone can do.

It is not known exactly when this change was applied, but it is speculated that has come with the Anniversary Update, released at the beginning of August.

Microsoft expects this measure to protect younger users, giving them a web filtering, but what can indirectly is away competing browsers Edge and Internet Explorer.
