smoothwall failing an a level and suicide
I watched in vain as my friend recieved the blue screen of smoothwall causing him to fail his A level in modern social media as the search term poo poo ahh quandale dingle bingleton skibidi toilet kai cenat rizzing up livvy dunn before he jumped off a cliff. I remeber watching on as i yelled his name, desperate for him to come back.
Die Smoothwall
This extension is just summed up by the High quality reviews below 👇. Trust me the reviews are so true
Someone I used (used underlined) to know called Vladimir Pupin and his family depended on accessing a online game where you win actual money for doing well, and when the money grabbers at Smoothwall decided to implement their useless piece of s*** on our school him and his family had to go to work in the mines because their only source of income was gone. I never saw them again and heard they died in a mining accident where other smoothwall victims were put.
Thanks smoothwall for this kind move to our lives, we thank you
this is absoulute rubbish
this is absoulute rubbish
i was genuinely trying to research nazi germany for a history assignment and any time i used the word n*zi in a search it was blocked. Also, my browser runs 80% slower after this fricking extension was put on our school laptops. as someone with additional needs who uses a laptop for everything, this only makes school harder for me.0/10
Not good
Me and my friend were eating lunch and he began chocking on his food. we were in the library on the computers so in a panic I looked up what to do. smooth wall blocked my search and my friend died in my arms as my mournful tears rained down on his cold, lifeless face as I wept for his life.
the people who made smoothwall really are the most miserable, joyless, soul sucking, boring, depressing people to ever set foot on this miserable earth.
skibidi sigma council
As a representative of the skibidi sigma society based in ohio i could not fanum tax or use my rizz without this kai cenat saying that it was blocked even though i only typed in google.

fatty blocker
its so bad, i want to give u a zero, but thats not possible so i give u a 1.
It is just pure hell
It is just pure hell. My school iPad, has poki on it but I can’t go on poki because it is classified as poki
I hope this app gets discontinued you…
I hope this app gets discontinued you guys suck and you make researching in school a living hell
Just an example for how bad this is
Just an example for how bad this is - On google classroom there was a popup about teacher appreciation week - press learn more and it was blocked. Your extension is s***, and you make my life as an Anthropology and Global Politics student a living hell.
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE
Why why why does this EXIST!!!
I just can’t express with words how absolutely horrible this application is. I think most people would agree, because it has been HACKED by students about 35 times this year.
Just now I was trying to listen to some music, but the service I clicked on was BANNED BY SMOOTHWALL.
So now I can’t even do my homework because the link we were given is blocked by SMOOTHWALL.
I just can’t believe what problems this is causing: about 35% of the people in my school can’t connect to the Wi-Fi network because SMOOTHWALL only lets you connect with networks that have a “security” of “wpa2/wpa3. So almost half of the students can’t even do the schoolwork because of this terrible app.
In conclusion, I don’t know why this was invented, and if you want a firewall for your students, use something like bichute instead. I just can’t believe this exists…
It dose not let you do anything
sigh.
smoothwall..just why. smoothwall is worse than a sloppy kiss from your great great grandma who hasn't cut her toe nails in 10 years. I CAN'T EVEN WRITE 1 THING WITHOUT SMOOTHWALL SAYING 'your administration has blocked this website.' LIKE stop please for my sake.
I hate you smoothwall
smoothwall sucks.Which is why I am writing this review.
how come I am trying to do my homework, I click on the link and it is banned because of something I don't care about. We hate you smoothwall.
it blocked search engines.
i went home to do my homework and i opened a new tab, only to find out that literally EVERY search engine available on the chromebook was blocked (apart from chrome)). I don't even know why!! just says "search engine, [search engine name]", and it makes no sense!
