Blatant spyware, malware, and a trojan in some ways, doesn't even hide it. We live in a totalitarian police state, individualism is dead, the socialist dream crushed, the New World Order has been established. Reported for conspiracy. Follow in my footsteps and fight against this Brave New World, and fight against the awakening of the deep state. |

Guys I dont think you realize that this extension really doesn't do much, in fact its doing more good than bad. If you really wanna get rid of it you can use java script code to turn it. |

It's tracking my personal Computer, phone, and every device i have my work account on. It should be removed from the webstore as it is nothing but spyware. Takes my IP from Home, Work, School it is nothing but spyware and needs to go. |

I should say it only effects chromebooks that your school sets up. it wont affect web browsers on your main computer. i never found this extension to be annoying on school chromebooks. Another thing is that it will never sell your personal information, only the school board will have access to this information. |

Obviously, from all the other reviews, this is actual dogwater. Ive tried multiple ways to get rid of it, and cancel privacy, and finally got a way from it. The reason im so angsty about it is because who wants Spyware and adware? it tracks literally EVERYTHING and throws updates in your face. even adds inappropriate "Content" and ads in everything i do! just let me stay in peace and NOT track my everthing, i hope it gets deleted. Good luck getting outa this one, chrome! |

SInce this is an admin forced extension on my chromebook, the only way I can remove it is by resetting the OS. It tracks my private information and it's a terrible extension. I hate my school. |

dont like it as it knows my ip and personal data on my chromebook and it is transfering all of this to unknown people.Several other people have most likely said this but if you use a school account you cannot delete it and you cannot write a review on this product making it so you can never complain. The main reason why you should never install this is that it is always tracking your every movement on the internet. |

Tracks your ip on non-manged devices and gives the developers access to private student info, this is what most consider to be spyware. |

Spyware, claims to only run on manged devices which is false, all devices running on the same account with it installed it runs on, tracks ip and other, it is illegal. |
