This extension is pure trash. If I could give it zero stars I would, but I can't so one star it is. First of all, It blocks you from installing most extensions, throttling productivity and stifling independence. Second, it is being used as a crutch for schools and districts that are too lazy to enforce their own internet policies. If a student is off-task in class, it is the teacher's responsibility and job to get them back on track. And third, this extension is literally spyware. it can see your GPS location, It works as a keylogger, See what you have plugged into your device, and read/change data on all of your sites. If you can't see why this extension is averaging a 1.2 out of 5 you are either lying or you're stupid.
