Does Honorlock have extension detection technology?

Honorlock has implemented Extension Detection technology to log installed and active extensions at the start of an exam session. This feature is always enabled, and test takers are notified to disable any unauthorized extensions before beginning their assessment. Extensions used for accessibility or other non-harmful purposes will not be flagged or blocked. Honorlock continuously updates its list of blocked extensions to prevent the use of tools like ChatGPT during exams, ensuring a fair testing environment for all test takers.
