“The Chromebook filtering market has become commoditized, and we believed that the time had come to offer our Chrome extension free for public good. Student safety is our priority, and we believe that this offering will spur further innovation in the web-filtering space by pushing other players to try harder” said Vinay Mahadik, Co-founder/CEO of Securly.
