Luke Tidball (ID: 000000b16e07c092) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/10/2023 Many features of this extension are either useless or hurts productivity. *Blocking Google games does nothing, as they can find alternatives online. *Removing link previews makes opening to other links tedious as the students are forced to copy the link and paste it in a new tab *Not letting students use Google Images for Google Docs makes finding copyright free stock images harder. This extension does so little and hurts the productivity of students, makes their time more miserable, and only restricts the options teachers have to utilize for assignments.
