I WUV SPYWARE YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

SALAMATTT MY BROTHER. this extension is great :) because now i can make sure the pdf file school IT neckbeard department can watch me goon to toast falling over i love it. if your in your school IT department and you hate kids this is perfect for you. On a serious note I found out how to make my own unblock games website or where to find proxy sites because of this app. your just going to train kids to find ways around auithoity that invades your privacy. i don't even log into my home pc on my school account because of this app and others like it. high schoolers shouldn't be treated like they are 5 year olds with such a short leash. This is what happens in classrooms a lot with this invasion of an app: hes playing games on example.com, Teacher blocks app or shuts down tab, Kid goes on youtube instead, closed, blocked or shutdown again. kid has had enough, hates his teacher and does anything else instead of the pointless work in front of them (i only rated this 5 so school admins would see this not students who want a laugh this program sucks)

Six grader here, I absolutely HATE it when I'm trying to look up a YouTube video my teacher recommended, IT BLOCKS IT. I think this app is just dumb in general
