    (I was looking at the different sections and wasn't sure where this belonged. Hope this is okay)

    I have been struggling with figuring out how to block porn through the Xbox One. It isn't an option to move the Xbox because my wife enjoys a lot of media like Netflix/etc and plays games on it from time to time. It is problematic because when I am super tempted and home alone, it is the one device I have that is a wide open avenue to watching porn. All it takes is an empty house and a weak will and I'm off to the races.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to block it? I have Uverse and AT&T limits you on what you can block through the Router. That was my first idea, but nope. I literally have no clue what to do to fix this issue. Seems like it shouldn't be this hard to protect yourself from pornography. You should be able to block it direct from the router so it makes all devices safe.

    I was wondering about that with my PS4.
    So I sold it.
    haven't touched any video games since may. and I was a guy who played hours every single day, was thoroughly addicted, and in my later years played competitively for money, for over 10 hours a day when I wasn't at school or work.
    I honestly don't miss it at all. video games are a waste of time. yes, they're fun, but they're a waste of time.

    Thanks for you guys input ... I'm in a bit of a bind with it as stated because it isn't just me who uses it. I really wish Microsoft would address this problem and create a system of protection not just for child accounts for adults accounts as well. I personally think these companies want us to have as much access to porn as possible bc there are back door deals happening between porn companies and companies like Microsoft/Apple... You discover how challenging it is to eliminate porn from your devices when you really start digging in and fighting it. Even on supposed child protected accounts there are work arounds and ways to get access. It is by design.

    I need to delete the explorer (browser) or whatever it is app, that should do it. There's no porn on Netflix so don't worry. The only thing stopping me is I may need it for legit reasons like watching london real TV. And if you're thinking "well I'll just reinstall the app" I don't know but at least there is some space between. We need to learn how to walk away and give it 10 minutes.

    There is no way to delete the "Microsoft Edge" app from Xbox One. Believe me I've tried! On Xbox 360 you were able to delete the Internet app but not anymore. Definitely agree on the learning to walk away thing.
