Why this matters:How to recognise this workaround on your side, and what closes it on your side — without telling you how to do the workaround.
Detection
The family’s policy names one browser but cannot state which browsers or in-app web views are in scope.
Fix (technical)
Google documents website restrictions for Chrome, not a universal rule for all browsers. Maintain a browser/app inventory and verify the scope of each device and service control with its provider; do not test circumvention. [google-chrome-child-account; saferinternet-at-technical-controls]
Fix (relational)
Discuss the information the child seeks and offer a safe, parent-approved route for legitimate research.
Residual risk
No inspected source established current behaviour for every alternative or embedded browser.
