What You Need to Know About Chrome Extensions
Extensions work with your Chrome Browser. Extensions make things easier, more accessible, more visible, & more convenient.
You may or may not be able to add an extension. Please contact Larry or Steve if you need assistance.
Larry and Steve have the ability to push extensions to all students. Please keep in mind how your request will impact all students.
Too many extensions running at the same time will slow your computer down. One way to manage extensions is to add an extension manager. Check out Guiding Tech's "Top 5 Extension Managers for Chrome"
