block sites on Chrome and Firefox

Thanks @leroydouglas. I'm just confused about the underlying technology. Not only can Mac OS not--as far as I can tell--block sites except on Safari, but iOS can block sites on every browser--at least, Safari, Chrome, Firefox.

Or is this a setting on my Mac I might be missing?

That sounds correct. On iOS, Apple requires all developers to use it's built-in WebKit software. But on macOS, pretty much anything goes. I would not expect any ScreenTime settings to apply to 3rd party web browsers on the Mac.

Hello! When I set up my website restrictions on Mac Ventura (System Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > Content Restrictions > Access to Web Content > Customize), Safari blocks my sites but Firefox and Chrome do not.

From what I see (eg, this article ), Firefox should block the same sites, as should Chrome (eg, this article). Am I wrong?

Does "Content Restrictions" only work on Safari?

I appreciate your help!
