User reviews

This extension gets your IP and this cannot be removed by students in most schools. This is a very bad violation of students' privacy and this extension should be changed to protect the privacy of students. This extension knows the exact time you went on a blocked page and the exact location where you did it.

Brandon Reynolds, 2025-03-14

As a student, I find it annoying and borderline scary that teachers can look at our screens, kick us out of stuff that isn't bad, and can freeze and comment on our screens. Also, they can see our screens no matter what if they're so much as want to, we may have private/personal information that we may not want anybody else to see like. Also, hackers may use it to see people's stuff if they hack into the school's accounts that control this. Please delete this, it is a huge invasion of privacy Edit: I can't get onto some sites I need to to do school work, but it's blocked by other teachers. Also, I didn't know it tracks your location which makes me genuinely very, very scared.
