Block apps or extensions (best practices)
Some apps and extensions can prevent Highlights visibility. Hāpara strongly recommends blocking the following extensions to prevent student workarounds:
- Chrome Apps and Extensions Developer Tool
- ProductivityTab - Custom Homepage Dashboard
- ProductivityTab — Custom New Tab Dashboard
- Screen Reader - Alternatively, you can navigate to Devices > Chrome Management > User & browser settings and select "Turn off accessibility settings on the sign-in screen upon logout"
This is managed under:
admin.google.com > Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions
Apps can be blacklisted by following the steps below:
1. Click the yellow circle and select Chrome Web Store.
2. Search for the app you'd like to blacklist, by name:
- Chrome Apps and Extensions Developer Tool
- ProductivityTab - Custom Homepage Dashboard
- ProductivityTab — Custom New Tab Dashboard
- Screen Reader
3. Choose to Select the Chrome Apps and Extensions Developer Tool.
4. Set the extension option to 'Block.'
5. Be sure to click SAVE in the upper right-hand corner.
