> With Schools using Google Forms as a testing platform, students are able to use this shortcut to search through the source of the page, and determine the correct answers. So they're serving the answers with the questions, and get annoyed when the students figure this out. What a lark. How about using a system which doesn't do that?

Is it remotely possible to vote against this policy? Who controls Chromium features – I know it's open source and thus one could always fork it, but how is the project governed? "Benign" dictatorship?

if you're invisible your vote doesn't count anywhere ....

Because the goal of the quiz is to test math knowledge, not software bypassing knowledge.
And the goal of the student taking that quiz is to get the highest grade by any means necessary. Learning is entirely irrelevant.
Edit: are you intentionally or unintentionally trying to justify any and all cheating as a means to get the highest grade possible?

Dear StackOverflow, students keep cheating by looking at the page source and finding the multiple choice option with the id "correct-answer". How do I add a new feature to Chromium, submit a pull request to Google, get it past their various layers of checks and policies, and mandate that all schools use this new option?
Enterprise admins can set a wide variety of settings on user systems...are you against view-sources specifically or other admin abilities as well?

Many of the best people in IT are there today, because they got curious about how stuff worked, experimented with it, broke the rules, and learned from that. This curiosity needs to be encouraged, not stopped. The young generation in IT already has issues because many of them don’t understand files, and many of them can’t even use a computer anymore. They grow up with tech all around them, but because all of it is cl…
These people can do that at home. Also not understanding files can be a benefit. Files are a legacy computing abstraction. Not knowing legally cruft can give you an open mind.
Every experience they'll make during their teenage years with computers is shaped by these managed experiences.

You can't actually paste that into the omnibar in chrome. It will eat the first part.
Yes, you have to manually type "javascript:" then paste the code. Or copy everything but the leading 'j' and hand type that after pasting. Or put it in a bookmark. Also, alert() truncates the text, but makes for a nice short demo. You could append a element to the page, or similar.
javascript:document.body.innerHTML=""+document.body.innerHTML

You could use the
tag, but that can be "escaped" from if atag exists on the page. Escaping the angle brackets with < and > would fix it, but is more elegant IMO.

Taking advantage of a long-lost HTML tag ( ) that tells the parser to switch the tokenizer to "PLAINTEXT" state[0] with no escape: javascript:document.body.innerHTML=" "+document.body.innerHTML From MDN[1]: > The HTML element renders everything following the start tag as raw text, ignoring any following HTML.
