There should be one tap setting or option using which user can block any website. For example porn site, fb for minors and related.
Although its possible using Host file method. I think it will be easier for users if there is option or settings.
I would like to know opinion of others @HotCakeX What you think?

@vineydhiman You may consider using Cisco Open DNS. There is a free plan for home use and you can block websites based on category.
It works fine and is trusted because it's owned by Cisco

Messing with host files and browsers configuration won't work, they can be bypassed easily.

The family safety features do not allow me to block websites on my own account. @HotCakeX The ability to not see garbage shoved in my face has been a core reason I've stuck with MS for so long. Without the ability to control what websites are shoved in my face I have to look elsewhere for a reasonable browser.

You're welcome :)
Edge stable will soon receive secure DNS feature where you can set DNS inside the browser or select from a premade list
