How to Test Securly on a Single Chromebook or a Test Organizational Unit (OU)

The Securly Chrome extension is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get started with Chromebook filtering.

You can install and test the Chrome extension on your Chromebooks in 5 minutes or less by logging into your Google Admin Console. The Securly Chromebook extension is user-based and only works on Chromebooks.
