Windows – Can’t block an application with windows 10 firewall

windows firewall

I try to block chrome and firefox from accessing the internet with Windows 10 Firewall but I get no result.

I blocked google chrome and firefox on the panel "allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall".

I also changed the inbound rules to "block the connexion" for those two applications.

And, as you can see, I'm still browsing.

I saw that Avast could interfere, so I totally uninstalled it and it's still working.

What am I missing ?

Thanks !

EDIT : Okay, the outbound rule did the trick, but why the inbound rule doesn't ?
