    This THING is so annoying like it used to block every website I tried to access even GOOGLE DOCS was blocked. It drains my battery so fast like in two school days it went from 100% to 28%. I hate it, SCHOOLS WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T USE THIS EXTENSION. Edit: good news guys my chrome says: "This extension may soon no longer be supported" thats a massive relief
