I saw a warning that Brisk can read and change all data on my websites. What does this mean?
This message is automatically generated by Google and appears when installing any Chrome extension. It is not specific to Brisk. Brisk only accesses data, including the websites you visit, when you specifically instruct it to. For example, Brisk will only interact with a site if you click the extension to create a resource or provide feedback. It does not access data when it is simply open in your browser, but isn't being used.
Brisk is blocked on my school network. How do I enable it?
You will need to contact your school IT administrator to allow-list the following on your school domain:
- brisk.education
