Family Safety parental controls for Edge on Chromium

Where can I find information on how and when Edge on Chromium will support Microsoft Family Safety parental controls?

We have not released any information on that yet, SeitzM. What controls are you most interested in?

SeitzM looks like there is a new release for Chromium that now supports this through an edge://flags switch - https://techdows.com/2019/06/microsoft-edge-canary-gets-microsoft-family-safety-support.html

i need to get up to the latest chromium release before i can test, so can't confirm this works yet...

tl:dr from the link above:

1. Make you sure you’ve updated Edge Canary version to 77.0.204.0 or higher, visit edge://flags page

2. Search for “Family” and for “Microsoft Family Safety” flag, choose “Enabled”

3. Restart the browser.

chrismrea I finally got to try this on the latest Beta. One issue I ran into. Unfortunately, the McAfee security software that came on my latest laptop seemed to interfere with this. Once I removed McAfee. parental controls worked!
