Google Chrome is an internet browser. District-issued devices typically come with Chrome already installed and ready to use, and Chrome is BSD's preferred internet browser because of its safety, security, and syncing features. If you'd like to use Chrome on a personal device, you can download Chrome here.
Keep Google Chrome up to date to avoid bugs and glitches.

All staff and students in BSD have access to the Google Chrome browser, and we highly recommend you use Chrome as your browser for its security features and built-in access to Google apps.
However, due to student data privacy concerns, staff and students may have limited abilities to add extensions or use add-ons. Learn more about extensions & student data privacy under the "Chrome basics" section above.
