In iOS 13 I could restrict internet access (ie. disable Chrome and Safari) between 11pm and 8am, but in iOS 14 it seems this ability has been removed? I can no longer see Chrome or Safari in the "Always Allowed" list for use with the Downtime feature (although I can see Firefox, strangely).

How can I restricting browsing access between specific hours on the device? Thanks!

I just noticed this! lol. Perhaps I never explore much my phone.

I don't know if this can help but you can try to download "Parental Control" apps on App Store that has the similar feature.
 
Safari screen time works on a per website basis, not like other app that just stops access. I never saw Safari in “always allowed” list in iOS 13.

As for chrome, it might have something to do regarding the default browser setting thing. Before that in iOS 13, chrome could be blocked just like any other app.

Also, if you really want to restrict internet access at a certain period, don’t rely on Apple to give such feature. Use ur router, PiHole or something similar to enable such feature.
 
It's not that. Firefox is still listed in the list of Always Allowed.

As for blocking internet access, I don't wish to block my PHONE from having internet access, I wish to block ME from having the ability to browse! :) That's all. It's useful for my phone to have internet access.
