Give it a few years in Chromebooks are going to be ecosystems that are filled with advertisements.
So many teachers use ad block and YouTube to teach students things in classes.
YouTube does a really bad job regulating what ads get served to what users.
I think we've got a few hilarious PR nightmares looming.
Our district distributes the Chromebooks with ublock origin pre installed.
My district blocks installing uBlock Origin lol
same
they are allowlist (not blacklist) and block nearly every extension
except fire extensions like:
1.) cisco umbrella
2.) epub reader
3.) stop motion thingy
etc etc
