my friends and I discovered that the GeoGebra sign in page has a ton of "exploits" that can get you to a completely unrestricted Google page.
the first one got patched after about a month, we just discovered this "version" too.
every Chromebook in the school district has GeoGebra pre-installed through the chrome web store, and any screen monitoring bullsh#t the teachers use cant even see it for some reason. there are even more "exploits" than this using different school provided apps. (I'm literally writing this in GeoGebra lmao)
sort of an 8 - 1 situation at my school

Re: sort of an 8 - 1 situation at my school
Necropost but this reminds me of how my primary school would consistently block URLs, but neglect to block what they redirected to.
They blocked "hotmail.com", but when Microsoft started rebranding things to Windows Live, that became a redirect to "login.live.com/?id=2", which remained unblocked and allowed full unrestricted access to Hotmail (lol I memorized that URL and I'm kind of amazed I still remember it all these years later - and that it apparently still works, now serving as a login page to Outlook).
There was another too, they also blocked "google.com/images" (in an apparent effort to block pornography), however not only did they not bother to block Yahoo Images for some reason (???), they also didn't block "google.com/imghp", which is what "/images" redirected to, once again allowing full unrestricted access to Google Images.
I'm sure the technology has gotten a little better now, but in the 2000s school internet filters were incredibly poorly configured.
