Instead of changing chromium we could just prosecute the students. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28867562 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28867562 https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/10/viewing-website-html-code-is-not-illegal-or-hacking-prof-tells-missouri-gov/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/10/viewing-website-...
