Multiversity LockDown Browser is a specialized browser designed to create a secure testing environment during online exams. It restricts students from navigating away to other websites, switching apps, copying content, or printing exam questions. This ensures exam integrity by locking users into the exam interface until submission.

Unlike limited or ad-supported browsers, LockDown Browser offers a full-featured, ad-free experience tailored for educational and assessment platforms. It supports academic institutions in maintaining fairness and preventing dishonest practices during online assessments.

Assolutamente inadeguato.Continua a segnalare problemi direte inesistenti e fare un'esame diventa un'impresa. Penso che non sia adeguato e bisognerebbe seriamente pensare di cambiare sistema

Ogni volta un terno al lotto. Prenoti l'esame , ti prendi del tempo dal lavoro, e puntualmente ci sono problemi con questo sistema di collegamento. Alle mail di supporto online ti rispondono che il problema non dipende da loro...e così ti fanno spendere altri soldi ed altro tempo!

Se potessi mettere 0 stelle lo farei, mi da problemi di connessione inesistenti su un computer del 2024, da denuncia, fate perdere soldi e tempo alle persone. Non trovando poi neanche la soluzione a questo disagio gigantesco. Vergognatevi.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Multiversity LockDown Browser requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Multiversity LockDown Browser may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
