Securly Reviews 660

Horrible! It blocked things I needed to use at school and was spying on me! This is literally a VIRUS and TORCHER for students! PLEASE DON'T GET THIS SO NO MORE CHILDREN SUFFER!!!!

They just give your info away, including mine

Securly is terrible and just spies on you. You can go on a very harmless website and its still blocked, like they banned CoolMathGames, COOLMATHGAMES. They also banned Scratch, and other Harmless websites for no reason. Sure, it's supposed to filter distractions and all of that, but if you have free time, it basically leaves you with nothing to do. I'm literally lucky I'm writing this now because I'm in school writing this, their Securly Classroom is also the OPPOSITE of secure, they can track your history, watch your screen, one my teachers had put everyone's screen on the on the board in front of the whole classroom. I think there was also a keylogger integrated in the extension at one point.

This thing is absolute wild. For example, it blocked every single website you can think of, even CodeHS projects. It has gotten so aggressive that the kids at our school had literally made an acronym for it:
School
Eliminates
Creative
Useful
Resources
Like
Youtube.
Not only that, I am not buying the fact that a gaming website is going to hack the school wi-fi, and they deserve to get hacked anyways. I literally got into trouble with the dean and he showed me how it was tracking every single website I visited. That was already bad enough that the school admins can see what I can do, but actively selling that data to 3rd party networks should be straight up ILLEGAL. And monitoring our school chromebooks is bad enough already, but when I logged into my school account on MY LAPTOP, they somehow PUSHED SECURLY TO M PERSONAL ACCOUNT! Good thing that I had an antivirus installed and I got the antivirus to remove the Securly files, but if I didn't have that antivirus, then my personal computer would be monitored, spied on, and everything would get nuked. And monitoring us during school hours is bad enough let alone outside of school hours. I once got on my school Chromebook at 10:00 pm and I see "Class session is active" like what? Also, invading kids' privacy like this won't make them obedient, but it only pushes them to escape the situation, which one kid at my school took computer science classes ONLY TO MAKE SCRIPTS TO BYPASS SECURLY. Like Securly is literally the online version of North Korea. I was at home doing homework really late at night, they then got an announcement from Securly saying "Go to sleep after you finish this, it's getting late."
It’s only a matter of time before Securly leaves the classroom and into the rest of the world, maybe force-installed onto our personal computers.

WE. MUST. STOP. THIS

Do not recommend

Through the help of Arthur, we have broken through and liberated San Jose, but Tammy Wincup escaped. me and the Adeptus Custodes are marching over to her last known location to finally end Securly once and for all. We shall conduct our revenge, as also while we were liberating san jose the sofware sent pictures of my d**k to the Kremlin in Russia so we're gonna deal with that soon. Arthur, I call for help again to hunt down Wincup

i hate securely please stop. it steals information and blocks everything even school websites. I genuinely don't get why schools use it. I'm having nightmares about the gnomes. fma

IT SUCKS IT GIVES YOU )T& THUSDE S*TEE IS BLOCKED BUG I CAN STILL ACCESS CAPCUT HOW???????

Blocks safe websited during school research, I get it blocking games, but it is literally 1984 by retaining crucial info that I need for research. Even my teachers hate it.

I LOVE YOU for selling my personal identification and data. Please make my life MORE miserable, I already hate it. Thank you for giving my IP address to multiple Chinese warehouses. I love not being able to function like a normal adolescent because of this application, which forces bright minded students to used shit websites like scratch.com. Whoever made this app, Have you ever been a kid? Haven't you ever been bored? I hate you and I curse you every day.

this is horrible and restricts information and even school websites

It just flat out sucks. It will block educational sites, helpful sites, and even things that teachers use, such as YouTube. I remember when it was first installed into my Chromebook and now everything I do is watched in one way. The AI for securely blocked the keyword "suck", and many more things. I believe there is a flagging system to keep students safe, but it never works, and always makes the most mentally stable students go to our counselor to talk about their recent thoughts. If you search up "hanging lights", you will get flagged and sent to the counselors office. There are so many more things to say, but I can't put them in this review because I might get flagged, or this site will get blocked. Also, right after restarting your chromebook, it may have an infinite loading screen that will make you have to restart your chromebook again. Our science website was blocked, and the people in charge of changing it refused because it a section about reproduction. Also, not sure if this is securely or not, but whenever you open a new tab, it redirects you to a safe search site. They also blocked Google sites, so if our teachers had anything on there, we couldn't access it. I don't know why it's so bad, but its bad enough that I changed my browser to Bing just so my searches won't be flagged, or else I wouldn't have been able to even find this site. If anyone from securely is reading this, please, take notes.

I love gnomes, they are so yummy and they bring me food from the UK, though for some reason there was a giant metal titan chasing them but free food is free food lol

oh yeah securely is not good also

I'm a 5th grader and I think Securly is taking it too far. It Literally blocked everything and it won't let me go on games in my free time at school. It's more like I'm locked up instead of school. Also I like how when I go on any type of games it's blocked, but instead a website that has pirated movies is not blocked, that's stupid. They even blocked Youtube videos, because one day in class we were supposed to watch an educational video, but Securly blocked it. And the reason for it's blocking from Securly is "other". Or whatever that means. Also the Gnome makes me cringe so bad

This is the absolute worst website in the world. My entire school district is now using this program and locking it onto my chromebook. I had to reset my home device just because I accidentally added my school account to my device and it started literally deleting all of my private files. Also it kept on transmitting so much data (My screen, My files, my history, and all of my private stuff) to securly servers that it was literally like a DDos attack to my network. Would not recommend, schools should stop using this, and this should not exist and should be illegal for existing. It is no wonder that the company got sued by children's parents 3 times.

Dose it steal your data

I hate Securly. Why does it exist?! I search up “naked eye” on Wikipedia, AND IT’S BANNED! And it is ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, those stupid gnomes that I want to give them food instead of the WIRE! AND IT”S STILL ACTIVE AT HOME AND TRACKS THE TIME YOU DID THIS! Please, if you want to get protected, use a VPN rather than this crap. WHY ARE SCHOOLS STILL USING THIS?!? I love when an EdTech tool tracks my personal data and sells it off to Libya! Look, this is a glorified scam. TLDR, This program is absolute crap.

As I was in my camp, I got a aid request from the illuminate overseer, asking for reinforcements against the gnome army. As they are allies to me, i could not decline this plea. The problem was, I was still stuck in the ooga booga camp, and i needed desperately to escape. When the spear guard gnomes were not looking, I managed to wriggle out of the rawhide ropes that bound me to the tree, and i went crashing away from them. Soon, I heard alarm horns, and i needed to run faster. I managed to break into a clearing, and i run towards the distress beacon that the illuminate had set up. I was ready to end these damn gnomes once and for all. Thats when i found a conveniently fuelled jeep on the trail, and i hopped on to drive. Sadly, i forgot to check for explosives, and a top tier engine bomb went off, severely damaging me. Thats when, out of the smoke, came Tammy Wincup (CEO of securly) with her bodyguard supergnomes. They said i was caught, and that there was no way of escape. That was it, and i had to use my trump card. I said "with this sacred treasure, I summon you, the seven handed mystery man, cheeked up gaster". Cheeked up gaster came and started going to town on the gnomes, absolutely obliterating them. But when gaster went back to the shadow realm and the smoke cleared, tammy wincup was nowhere to be seen. She had escaped again. The lore continues...
