Hi,
I have blocked the below websites discord.com and moot.us but these web sties are still accessible in any browser but not in mobile
Why is this weird behaviour and how can I get this blocked in browser as well

Web Safe works via Virgin Media's DNS and to confirm if that is the case go to https://1.1.1.1/help and confirm the reported AS Name is Virgin Media.

Apologies for any issues rafiaamiri,
Welcome back to the community.

By default you will use VM DNS but this can be override by the device either by VPN, proxy change of DNS or a browser with DNS over TLS
If you wish to really limit DNS use modem mode with a router and a swtich VLAN two ports untag between hub and router and with the switch having ACL you can limit to VM DNS or you can get a high end router and do it that way.

Thanks for your posts and replies, rafiaamiri.
Sorry to see you're still facing an issue with your blocked sites on web-safe not working, could you please advise if the Child Safe is switched on too as the blocked list is under this feature?
Also, have you checked further settings such as filtering to ensure it's all set to the right options for you in order for the pages to be blocked by Child Safe?
You can customise your Child Safe settings for your family by clicking on the Categories, Sites or Timer filters and selecting the level of protection.
Let us know more and we're happy to help you.

No, not as far as I know but this should not detract from it being a valid troubleshooting process to determine if the device is using Virgin Media DNS or not. If you are concerned by the URL see Cloudflare | Wikipedia for more information about who operates 1.1.1.1 - Wikipedia

If one device is using Virgin Media DNS and the other is not you would see the described behaviour.

Please advise with the options to block

As explain earlier if they are using different DNS setting then this would be seen. Quickest means to confirm this is to follow the previous advice here Re: Can access blocked website - Virgin Media Community - 5197227
