listen if u double click next to the add tab button it brings up task manager(can't be blocked) you can disable it securely only for a few seconds so be fast and it enables again but you can do this multiple times but this method cant be blocked like others
Unsecure and unhelpful. My son is currently Doing Online school And securly makes it VERY hard for him to work using the school computer because most websites that he needs for school are blocked. My wife and I dont have much money so when we heard that he was allowed to bring the school computer home, we felt releived that we did not have to buy a new laptop for him to do online school. Then he started complaining about the issues to his teachers and they did nothing. So we had to buy a new laptop for him that would last long enough for him to graduate. Also-Is securly even safe? because I dont think its a good idea to have foreign connections that are able to monitor and control... Read More
I HATE HATE HATE THIS!! MY DAUGHTER PLAYS ROBLOX AND SHE LOVES IT AND WHEN WE TRIED TO GO ON TO THE WEBSITE IT BLOCKED IT UGH WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BLOCK IT?! at least for her it doesn't block youtube for us. BUT I WOULD RATE THIS 0 STARS IF I COULD!
It sucks and it is very annoying go on yelp or there youtube channel or google search or bing or any search engine they are hated
Just bad it sucks it blocks YouTube wtf? It also blocks school websites to like google classroom
I have to say, Securly sucks. I can't do anything on my chromebook. It blocks DeviantArt where I go Zim X Gaz and Zim X Tak. It also blocks Internet Archive, where I go to download Nickelodeon, Fox, Nick on CBS, The 90s Are All That, Nicktoons and PBS Kids stuff, Reddit where I go for memes, I need to ask a lot on Quora.
I have to say, I really hate it. I really really really really hate it. Why five stars you ask? Because it does its job. There are lots of hate reviews from students. This is not one of them. It does its job VERY well. I have tried everything. I am a coder, fluent in lots of languages. I use my skills to help my classmates and I bypass securly. I try and try and try, and had some half successes. I managed to unblock youtube, and some sites using [Can't tell or securly would block] Securly is definitely demon spawn, but demon spawn that does its job. GOOD JOB SECULY PROGRAMMERS! YOU HAVE BESTED ME! for now...
THE WORST EXTENSION YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET. This blocks literally everything, including harmless sites like forums, streaming, and games. Honestly, the only sites a firewall should ever block are porn and phishing sites. Entertainment should not be blocked. Some harmless sites it blocks are EDUCATIONAL SITES, and here are some other sites: Roblox, Spotify, downloading any extensions or applications, Quora, and Reddit. OVERALL, DO NOT GET THIS EXTENSION IF YOU WANT TO USE THE INTERNET!
SECURLY IS SO STUPID I HATE IT SO MUCH, IT IS SO SENSITIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING, IT LITERALLY BLOCKS THINGS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE BLOCKED, MY CHILD, I LET HIM GET A BREAK FROM SCHOOLWORK ON HIS LUNCH BREAK, I LET HIM PLAY THIS GAME CALLED ROBLOX AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY BLOCKED IT! I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT SECURLY AND EVERYONE HATES IT, MOST PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO INSTALL IT! IF YOU WANT TO BLOCK SOMETHING AT LEAST DONT LET IT BE MY SON"S GAME! YOUR PROGRAM SUCKS AND LUCKY YOU I CANT PUT ZERO STARS!!!!

The Hub by Securly brings these same features into the home enabling parental control 24/7. Unlike other parental control apps that are downloaded to every mobile device to be used, Hub by Securly is an actual device that plugs directly into the home's wifi router enabling parental control of any device creating an effective way to keep an eye on your children's online activities and block inappropriate sites. When children are at school, parents may monitor school device activity the same way faculty and teachers can.
