Say some
Chrome or Edge Policies that your school forced on you
among some of the very fun ones:
no chrome extensions
no disabling the bookmark bar (why?)
devtools (was) disabled
youtube restrictions
and no incognito

The bookmark bar is there, press Ctrl+b in chrome to get it back

extensions, obviously
the bookmark bar is forced on
and it literally wont allow me to unpin screencastify (screen recorder thing) which makes zero sense because chromebooks have a built in recorder :skull:

You couldn’t screen record until 2021, btw

Well you can press that on a page that is not a “new tab” to hide it from all pages execpt for new tabs

I don't think google is stupid, when the bookmark bar is disabled there are no workarounds

When my school district started using chromebooks there was no extension policy so kids could just install whatever. Lots of kids would install random stuff but I just rolled with a theme I liked (removed by moderator - please don't name browser extensions)

Around the end of middle school they suddenly decided to lock it down completely. Nothing except district approved extensions (read: monitoring software and GoGuardian.) I totally got why they did this but it also meant I lost (removed). From then on whenever I visited most websites, the computer would completely die as 4GB of JavaScript ads and trackers got injected directly into its veins. Chromebooks are already basically unusable most of the time but that just made it even worse.

I think it cemented my long running hatred of Chromebooks.

If you can access the Debian Linux terminal that ChromOS has built into it (sometimes admin policies block it, other times they just cross their fingers you don't notice it or don't know how to use it), you could use it to download Firefox.

Since you can't delete forum posts now this is what it looks like.

They force changed the page the browser opened to.
Also FORCE PINNED EXTENSIONS make my SO MAD.

honestly kinda same. im homeschool so they dont have control over my PC, but for some reason i cant use edge

/surf. what is the actual point of disallowing the surf game? its not just the button, going to it says that its denied due to family settings. i dont get the point of that lol

forgot to mention when i hit post but luckily i have pretty reliable internet

Yeah, my school did that a few years ago.

That's a large part of the reason that I now primarily use a Chromebook that I own and have admin privileges on, and just sign into my school Google account as necessary from an instance of Chrome where I'm signed in on my personal account.

-No extensions
-No notifications
-Can't clear history (obviously)
-Very recently blocked inspect element

somehow they overlooked every single edge restriction so edge is pretty good, it has less restrictions than chrome

I can clear my history on my school account's chrome instance.

I must be insanely lucky; my building doesn't block any websites. I even have Edge configured to clear browsing data on exit – it saves time over logging out when I'm done using the PC.

On my Windows PC, I use a supervised account (Anyone in my family can see what websites and apps i use). And it literally blocked the surf game in Microsoft Edge.
