[Can't block Messenger built-in browser]

Hello @BuboBubo,

Welcome back😀 !

• Also, Kaspersky have acknowledged an issue where certain apps may “piggyback” on other apps, when this happens, KSK does not function correctly; this was not known, when you raised this topic, a year ago. 
• According to the Kaspersky developers advice (Jan 2020) “certain apps KSK is supposed to block, due to a limitation in the design of Safe Kids, does not work. We’re aware of the occurrence and are already looking to make an improvement.”

1. Regarding “ I haven't set up Chrome as default browser”, which browser has been configured as default please? 

• Please note Kaspersky’s advice: to ensure www content is filtered, Kaspersky recommends adjusting Kaspersky Safe Kids settings so that only Google Chrome browser is allowed.

Please let us know?

Thank you🙏

Hello @FLOOD (and @Berny), 

I am very sorry for the misunderstanding - I have clicked something different in my phone settings and have thought I deselect Chrome as default (but I still had Chrome as default, and that's why I was redirected).

The true state of things is that I have Google Chrome as a default browser, and when I allow Messenger to use its web browser, I can still access all websites without restrictions.

Hopefully, Kaspersky Developers will find some improvement. Once again, I am sorry for my previous wrong reply.

Best regards!

Hello BuboBubo, '
Welcome back!
Sometimes, it can take a while for the Lab to provide updates, however, it never hurts to ask for an update.
Give them a little more time and then maybe make an inquiry.
& please, do keep us informed, there are many people interested in this issue.
Best regards!

 

Hello FLOOD, 

So, until now, the technical support hasn't given me an answer. On the other hand, when I tried to open websites through Messenger, it always redirected me to Chrome and then blocked the site (even though I haven't set up Chrome as default browser). I don't know if it works for other users of Kaspersky.

 

Best regards!

Hello FLOOD, thank you. So I've asked Technical Support and send them all details including reports from mobile phone. I guess they are working on it, but I have no solution so far. I will let you know when I will know more.

Hello FLOOD, thank you for your reply. I haven't asked Technical Support yet, but I am going to do it now... We will see what their opinion is.

Messenger - this is some kind of extension for correspondence in the browser? or some kind of separate program?

Facebook Messenger (commonly known as Messenger) is a messaging app and platform. Thanks!

Yes, and problem is that this Messenger has its own web browser. It means that if somebody (or you can send it to yourself) sends you a web-link, then you can open it with this built-in web-browser. And, of course, Kaspersky Safe kids doesn't work for this built-in web-browser, so your kid can search the Internet without restrictions.

Yes, and problem is that this Messenger has its own web browser which is without restrictions by Kaspesky Safe KIds.

I am not able to block Messenger built-in web-browser, while I don't want to block whole Messenger. I want to use Messenger for writing messages only. However, when I click on a link sent by Messenger, all websites are available. Any possible help?
