@seaque Me. I don't use MS services.
@ibay770 For Chrome, use Ungoogled Chromium.

I could but that's not the point. I want to block domains for those browsers like you did with these one.

Line 158 microsof.com is a mistake?
Should be microsoft.com?

It's been working for me. I made only a couple of small changes though. In order for the Microsoft Family Safety web site to work, I had to remove graph.microsoft.com from the list.

is there any other changes i need to make for any important functionings?
also among the list which one affects the collection tool in edge browser, because my "collections" are not working properly after making these changes in host file!

ok, is there any other changes to be made like this?
or how to know the functions of each code, as am not an expert and lack basics in coding!
