see im not gonna do the whole "school have is bad" thing all im gonna say is that this extension genuinely is GARBAGE, it blocks too many things, sure some of the things it blocks are reasonable (like porn) but other things it blocks like reddit, i use reddit for school, the duality of this extension appals me by how good and bad it can be, if your at school issues with it are worthless to avoid, you can't do anything
