The worst school blocker extension to date. If you'd think school blockers like the one on LAUSD school chromebooks you used at school back then was the worst, then think again! I had this installed in the middle of us watching Pom Poko and now, i can't even go on my Chromebook without having to suffer from this extension. It turned on Restricted Mode for YouTube and blocked alot of videos that were approppriate (like PrettyMissStudios's Most Girls MEP), DeviantArt, FANDOM and most websites i would usually go on are now blocked thanks to this bullcrap. This also acts like a virus to your computer too by slowing down your internet and can even crash at times! We need this extension taken down by Chrome and have most of our freedom here back! If you agree with me, report this extension and reply! We cannot have a junky extension like this mess up all of our school computers. Worst extension and blocker ever, it deserves a massive 0/10. And to iBoss, here's my little message. CHOKE ON MY RAGE! You made me more stressed and frustrated and my Chromebook will never be the same.

I swear that this is the worst app LAUSD has ever downloaded. It needs to be taken off. It blocked Schoology and a bunch of completely harmless websites. On top of that, it acts like a hacker, and it can be bypassed by anyone with enough money. This app was probably created just for schools to purchase it, which in turn would make kids with enough money purchase it so that they could override it. This app should not exist. It should be irreversibly taken down forever.
