spyware. privacy invasion. they can see everything you do, even at home. weird. for people who don't have personal computers, it's concerning. teachers abuse this app. i can't even use pinterest to find useful pictures for projects. one of my teachers constantly assigns videos to watch on youtube, but it's blocked. if i could give 0 stars, i would. Masumba Albert (an earlier review from january) states, "I looked through the accesses and privacy policy, it says 'The information we collect, and use may include, without limitation, the following kinds of personal information: First and Last name, Email Address, Login name, screen name or any other identifier that permits the physical or online contacting of a specific individual, student Identifier. . . Classes/Schedules, Date of Birth, Photograph.' It also sells information to 3rd party websites. Not to mention it apparently also has access to the camera?" i fully understand that some of that information is needed for the teachers. but knowing that they have access to my camera is creepy. and selling that information to 3rd party websites? okay... i'm drowinign isn uhrej rhf thos keprin mg eform udigh su wnab t npat forbset please do not use this app. i feel violated. (help me)

(This Comment was completely edited & changed) "Manage. Monitor. Know." M- Manage your browser and block websites, some websites can help, but yet they are blocked... M- Monitor what you're doing, like spyware it can see passwords, your browser history, etc. K- Know what you're doing, as of here ^^^^ It knows what website you're on which is annoying...! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I give this 0 stars for invasion of privacy and the annoyance it can cause. (Mar 25, 2024 - April 30, 2024) I hope the developer of this extension feels guilty about what they've done to our lives. We can't have our dignity and rights 😭😭. Please mass report this I beg you (Report as invasion of privacy and spyware)

As an IT admin, this tool is very helpful in managing and monitoring multiple devices
