Jubril (ID: 000000a755d0d5c8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/26/2023 Here's my take on that: Works well: applies rules to incognito browsing, and has a password protection feature that prevents users from disabling the app without the password. However, there's a downside: Microsoft's new approach to EDGE family safety has limited the effectiveness of the software. This is unfortunate, as the product has many great features that could be useful to families. Does that sound better? I tried to restructure the information into a more coherent paragraph and added a bit of context to make it easier to understand.
