Umm… so, I went scavenging around in the GoGuardian source code to look for secret pages/scripts. Here is what I found:
It does stuff with YouTube
It has a chat?
It has video call
Teachers can present stuff
miner.js (sus?)
Stuff with google docs
admin.js
Has http://goo.gl/m3OTXk - goes to https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/wiki/Error:-No-async-scheduler-available
Lots of shortened goo.gl links
Uploaded my findings here: https://store.sebastienbiollo.com/e80887542784618b8eb07a7b404233071667942936849

My school uses Securly instead… it blocks even more sites, but at least they’re a bit more legitimate, and it doesn’t actually allow teachers to see my screen.
btw for the miner.js - gogaurdian is known for being spyware even outside of school uses - it tracks what pages you’ve been on and collects some user data. my school just disabled a way my classmates and me would unblock it using a bookmarklet - and now i’m depressed because they blocked repl.co so i can’t use replit to program websites :sob:
the chat is an obvious one for me at least- my teacher used it in 2020 for virtual schooling
i used bookmarklets which in ChromeOS 106 don’t allow you to manage extensions under the URL chrome.google.com/webstore_
