How to remove extensions installed by administrator on school Chromebook?

I am a newbie.

My school uses the latest version of Chrome OS (16.0.912.75) with administrator privileges and is currently running on Chrome OS 17.963.71.

The administrator installed a number of extensions by using the option "Install from file". I believe this was done because the admin forgot to set the option "Allow developer installation" (which is on by default).

How do I remove these extensions and set the option "Allow developer installation"? Thank you! Use these commands in Terminal or PowerShell (depending on your OS) to uninstall the extension: Linux. Sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser-extension-name. Windows. Chrome.exe --user-data-dir "%AppData%LocalGoogleChromeUser DataDefault" --user-data-dir "%AppData%LocalGoogleChromeUser DataDefaultDefault" --no-default-browser-check --no-first-run --no-theme --disable-downloads --disable-extensions --uninstall If you want to set developer mode, go to chrome://extensions/ in your browser, right click on the extension and click Uninstall. Then re-install it.

This may be the most asked question about Chrome OS devices.

While there are many methods, most of them involve either modifying the hosts file or using a VPN or proxy to hide your identity when accessing an offending website. We'll cover both methods here.

How to Unblock Blocked Sites with the Hosts File. You will want to make a copy of your hosts file on a USB drive or other storage device for safe keeping. This is essential if you decide to modify the hosts file, as you will need to have a clean copy to revert to.

Chrome OS doesn't allow any modifications to the hosts file, so you'll need to change the permissions of the hosts file and create a new one. First, open a terminal window and type the following command to change the permissions on the hosts file: sudo chmod 0400 /etc/hosts. Next, create a new hosts file in the /etc/ directory: sudo touch /etc/hosts. Then copy your hosts file to the USB drive and reboot. If you've copied it to the /etc/hosts directory, you should see it being used after reboot.

If the hosts file is not set as the default then you will need to edit it to match the following text: 1 localhost.localdomain localhost4.localdomain4

Localdomain localhost6.localdomain6 If you were to look at the hosts file on an Android device or desktop computer, you would see a few entries similar to these. On Chrome OS devices, the only entries are the first three.

Now that you have the hosts file set up, you can change the permission back to 4444: sudo chmod 4444 /etc/hosts. You can now reboot the device and it should now use the hosts file. To see if it is working, type the following in a new browser tab: google.com If you see the Google website in your new tab, then the hosts file is working. You can now delete your temporary hosts file if you want, as it will not be needed anymore.
