User reviews

Schools, Before installing this extension, read this review throughly. As a Javascript Developer, this extension SCARES ME TO DEATH. The extension's code literally logs student's: EXACT Location, IP Address, Passwords, Pressed Keys, Search History, and Website Activity. It sends ALL of this information to their servers, which have HORRIBLE security. This could allow hackers to get information of MILLIONS OF STUDENTS world wide. This is a HUGE threat to student privacy, and this is ACTUALLY ILLEGAL. If you or your school are considering using this, please DON'T.

Hate this thing. Makes searching the internet more of a Hassel. It allows people to turn off your device and manage your tabs without your consent, all without even being in the same room as you. I have to have a VPN on my device in order to get to most websites, even then admins can still see what you're doing, making the idea of school computer being new and exciting, almost immediately go away
