| 2024-11-28 |  | | en | 1 star because looking into someone's IP can be illegal depending on what it is. If it is websites such as Wikipedia, then no it is not illegal (Wikipedia is never spying on someone's IP but editing on Wikipedia without a account shows the IP which that is not illegal). If it is used for hacking or trying to do something that can be illegal, then yes, that is illegal. It should never be attempted at any time. Spying on a student's IP or home IP is not allowed unless with reason. You shouldn't install this extension unless there is a reason |

| 2024-11-10 |  | | en | why can my school see my ip from home whatn that's so messed, on the website its even stated the school has to contact my internet provider to get my location from my IP you do know it takes 2 seconds to look up IP to location and they wouldn't contact no internet provider, and its also stated that any account on any website we log into on a chromebook will be tracked and monitered even saying if you log into Instagram or Snapchat etc that the school will be able to see and access the same things I am ON MY PERSONAL SOCIALS and thats its required for security arent my passwords and log ins my privacy that's beyonddddd to far. you guys are messed up for allowing straight spyware on the Google webstore, no person should be seeing what is done, there are privacy laws for a reason and this just goes straight against all of them, and why hide it as oh it checks for updates but at the same time it also allows your schools to see everything on the device that doesn't seem right to me. BRING BACK OUR PRIVACY. and I hope my schoolboard sees this too I wont sit by and allow this to be ok its wrong in so many ways. so many ways. |
