I too am having this same problem, but mine is for different reasons. Not to mention that any teenager these days would have no issue getting around the openDNS parental controls if all they need to do is simply download and surf with a non IE browser. It goes into the realm of any teenager who's curiosity and sense of adventure gets the best of them. Does it mean I had bad parents, no, they did the best they could. Growing up myself during the infant years of the modern computer age, I had found many ways around my parents telling me not to do something, especially when it came to the internet. To tell someone to tell their kids not to use chrome makes it overtly obvious that you are not a parent, or you are completely out of touch with the modern age. actually all of your posts for that matter. To be completely honest i am being quite tame because there are some choice words that I would like to share with you regarding your last post. There's for sure a solution to pretty much any issue, but I feel to suggest to force another option besides Chrome isn't a solution. I will for sure be exploring the issue in further depth. You are also right that the issue probably isn't an issue with Chrome, but an issue with another piece of conflicting software or setting. You are right, market share does not dictate what I must allow or use, but again, the fact that it's the majority and just works speaks for itself. Since it is up to me on what browser to support (the Admin), I'm going to go with the proven solution rather than the alternative, and most software developers tend to devise solutions toward the majority rather than the minority. I believe that has been established in the majority of the use/reviews/ just works. It succeeds in just working like a browser should when IE has failed time after time. It's become the new "default" browser for most people. I say it would still be installed because it's a better overall browser to use and that would be the choice. I have a single extension in Chrome that shouldn't cause an issue with not blocking websites, and I haven't yet taken the time to look into my particular security suite, but I will for sure.Īs for Chrome, yes, because of market share (meaning people choose to use it instead of it just being "baked into" the operating system) and many other reasons. Look again at the plug-ins and other software installed on your computer and I'm sure you'll find the answer in there somewhere. That said, every time I've seen a report in here about Chrome or some other browser not working with OpenDNS it had nothing to do with OpenDNS, but rather a plug-in or setting within the browser, or a 3rd party piece of software that bypassed the system-wide network settings. Market share is not some sort of law that dictates what you must allow or use. If you don't want a particular piece of software running, for whatever reasons, then don't let it be installed or run. That means that you are the one who should be making the decisions about the software that runs on them. Have you checked the plug-ins in your chrome installation, or checked all of the non-Avast troubleshooting suggestions in here?Īlso, are you saying that Chrome is the superior browser because it has higher market share, or for some other reason? Why do you say that Chrome would still be installed if accounts on the computers were running with user and not administrator permissions? Isn't that something that's up to the administrator responsible for the machine.Īpparently these are your computers, or ones that you are responsible for. OpenDNS works just fine for me in Chrome on multiple computers, although it is not my preferred or default browser.
