About Unblockr

Unblockr is a python package used to create alternate browsers easily and without much coding knowledge. This can be used to bypass blocking extensions on school chromebooks. This package uses selenium and webbot.

How To

Before you begin, I highly recommend making an account on replit.com. In my opinion, it is the best site to use with Unblockr. Make an account here.

Create a repl in replit.com by clicking the blue + button in the top right corner of the main page or by clicking on the menu and selecting + Create repl. You will then be given several options. Select python for your repl template and name your repl anything you want. Leave the privacy section as is. Then, click the + Create Repl button and your new repl will open!

To install unblockr, use the pip command pip install unblockr in the shell tab. Next, type from unblockr import firefox in your main.py file. If you would like to use chrome instead, replace 'firefox' with 'chrome'. main.py should be the only file in your repl. Then run the file by click in the Run button or typing CTRL + Enter, your console should respond with a firefox window. Be sure to wait at least five seconds for the browser to load.

Errors

When you receive an error (the text in the console appears in red and the browser doesn't load), try these things before reporting the error:

• Make sure your first line looks like this: from unblockr import firefox or this: from unblockr import chrome.
• Open the 'shell' tab on the right and type pip install unblockr. Then press enter.
• Rerun the repl by pressing the Run button at the top or typing CTRL + Enter.
• Reload the page.
• Make sure the file is named main.py.
