Microsoft Family Safety

Hello, so Ive just switched from chrome to edge but I keep getting blocked by the family safety. It says I have to ask an adult for permission to enter a website. Ignoring that I am an adult, I dont even have anybody in my family to ask for permission. How do I completely turn it off? I really just want to use this as a search engine and Im not interested in all the extra features.

    edoedi15 Hi

    You can check in the Edge settings - there at the bottom of the settings is accidentally enabled function ( family safety ) - you can turn it off there, or open the settings -> Windows security ( Defender ) and check the firewall settings there and also disable it. -> (Family Safety)
