third-party browsers

About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about third-party browsers cover compatibility with Microsoft Family Safety parental controls, including a service-side fix for a browser bypass issue and crashes in Chrome caused by the same system. Tools like Flyoobe allow setting a third-party browser as default during Windows 11 setup on unsupported hardware.

These threads highlight interactions between third-party browsers and Windows features, security, and user control.
