questioning about chrome

[Caleb Wilkes]

I am on a school email and I am lokey wondering if you can reinstall or unrestrict crosh form being blocked and if so how btw I am using a school Chromebook and they are supposedly  going to be taking YouTube away which I use for learning about Chromebooks and developing and coding fundamentals and a overheard them saying they can shim anymore so shimboot is basicly useless if you try to downgrade a extension called gopherbuddy will make sure it will update at some point because it says it will make sure you don't fall behind by 3 updates but that makes Chrome software harder to workaround and makes debugging and editing software practically impossible. also securely is blocking websites and even random words apparently when I type like ajd,blocked of course bad websites blocked but Chrome://extensions and even chrome sign-in or sign out blocked and chrome sites even Acer community is blocked like they really thing we Gon find a workaround around this one.

Short answer is no.

From what I'm reading, it is almost impossible to do what you're describing given the environment you're in. There is likely a policy that an administrator at your organization/ school assigned either to your account (school email) or the device itself which disallows access to crosh and/ or other parts of Chrome or select settings on the device itself.

It's been a few years since I have been on a managed device/ account with similar organizational settings you're describing, but your organization (meaning the school and/ or your administrator) ultimately control the access to the device you're on and the network you're likely using at school, which again dictates the things you can and cannot access. Since no one school's settings for their computers or accounts will be alike, it's highly unlikely for someone to be able to recommend a way to circumvent any of the changes or policies you've described; which you probably shouldn't be trying to get around to begin with.

My advice is if you want to have full freedom over the things you want to do, then get your own Chromebook or device to tinker with, along with using your own personal account for it. Use the school computers and your school issued account for what it's intended for: Education.

Unfortunately, the org that the device is enrolled into must first decommission it from its list of enrolled devices. Nothing you do (power washing, OS recovery, etc.) will allow you to re-enroll the device into a different organization without the organization it's currently enrolled into clearing its current enrollment. Additionally, it costs money to enroll devices into an organization, so I would advise against that path.

I am wondering if I could somehow bypass a web filter by using a html source code generater and use an online html website to view sites like GitHub and YouTube or Twitter. I am also wondering if shimming or downgrading to a low version or the lowest version and if I could use app script on Gmail to create a script that could be run to add or delete Google accounts if this is possible.

Hello, your device seems to be in securely or others. These are implanted in school devices. (Psa: there is no way to disable it except asking IT to disable it if you are leaving and want to keep it.) if you are in securely please note YOU CANNOT DELETE IT. It is an MDMS (mobile device management system) 

It is “planted in when setup” how? The WiFi network is managed and when connected during setup, it sends date to the device saying “add this MDM if you are going to setup in my network” then it takes full control of the device and then they can see your history location apps, real time screen viewing eg. apple classroom, Securlly DSM (device screen management) and JAMF ( MDM-based and controls apps and forces system to hide App Store and replace it with Self service app, reset app, etc ) JAMF and securlly is mostly powerful and mostly can’t be broken.
