# Microsoft Parental Controls also Dark Patterns you Into using Edge

I set up Microsoft’s parental controls on someone’s account a while back and I manage it for her. Last night, she was panicking because she couldn’t access the internet. At first, I assumed it was due to time limits I might have set and forgotten about.

But no,it turns out Microsoft simply decided to block Chrome, with no notification, no email, nothing. Just a silent update that made me scramble . Why cant there be any freaking consistency.

Come on man!
