[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is definitely NOT NORMAL.  They're pushing out chrome extensions onto your personal computer.

Don't let your kids use a personal Chromebook to log into school and don't let them use a Chrome browser on a personal computer.  Force them to use IE or FireFox.

A family member logged into my Chrome browser using their Montgomery College account without asking me one time.  The next time he used his personal Chromebook, all my favorites were added to his.  I ended up removing Chrome from my PC.  [/quote]

I this right? Is everything fine if our child uses Firefox at home.  If so, awesome!

Seems like a bit of a design flaw for Google though, if this GoGuardian encourages all students and their families not to use Chrome, a Google product.  Ah well.[/quote]

On the top right corner of the Chrome browser is a little person (it's next to minimize).  That allows the student to log into the browser itself.  This is tantamount to logging into a Chrome laptop.  With Firefox, you only log into the google services like you would with any regular Gmail account.  There shouldn't be any extensions.  Obviously your kid should still log out of that account when done.  I would probably just make them use IE because I never use that browser.[/quote]
