    $\begingroup$ Respondus and Proctorio are not so much "locked down browsers" as they are "abusive spyware". I hope you find an alternative. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @preferred_anon: It's not abusive if it's running on hardware owned by the school and the students are clearly warned that their activities on said hardware may be pervasively monitored. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Kevin I disagree; the school should be forbidden from making such an agreement a condition of taking the exam. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @preferred_anon: This will, to some extent, be a matter of local laws and privacy regulations. But at least in some countries, you very much can make such an agreement mandatory, because the student always has the option of using their personal device for all personal browsing, and is clearly warned of the consequences if they choose to do anything personal on the school device. $\endgroup$
