Please remove Google Chrome from the system. There is no reason to use it.

Google Chrome has proven privacy issues. It is known to submit private data to Google, and to ship hidden code that can be used for eavesdropping.

As a person in charge of minors, you should by all means not impose these risks on them. You shouldn't do so with adults, but even less with children.

Use iceweasel, or, if you need one of the very rare good features of Chromium, use Chromium.

This is serious.

Thanks,
Nik
