(This is a long story so ya might wanna take a seat) so when the pandemic hit I was entering middle school and given a school laptop that had chrome on it flash forward to 8th grade there was an update that made most computers in the district to switch to edge and mine was lucky unaffected by update then 5 months later into 8th grade the keyboard on my computer got fucked and they gave me a replacement that was buggy as shit so they gave me a new computer with chrome and I signed into Google and it was like a welcome back and I had chrome extensions that bypassed the school internet filter and did some cool shit and I still remember when I used newgrounds for the first time (this was before I made an account) and instantly falling in love with the site and playing games and music and looking at art and music flash forward to to early mid sophomore year of high school then they said some shit about "we fixed your computer" (they just replaced the laptop with a new one) and I thought whatever as long as it has chrome it didn't and now I'm using lame ass strict ass bitch ass motherfucking Microsoft edge and they blocked everything and now if I wanna get chrome I gotta get either a laptop from some dude of Ebay or just deal with it and just not having the freedom of browsing the internet just made me so frustrated I wish I could travel back in time and bitch slap the tech guy who said he "fixed my shit" but on the bright side the new computer can burn CDs and run flash games and not over heat

I mean... I sympathize with how you feel about that, but as I said before*: Your school would be the one screwed if somebody made a photo with their cellphone showing an entire classroom browsing porn sites (or disabling the "A"-filter on NG).
They might have said "we fixed your computer" but they could also have said "We got tired of your shenanigans". I don't know your and your classes' typical behavior with those devices, but it's very possible that they were being diplomatic about it.
That being said: The administrator's job is to prevent students going around safeguards "within reason". If you "happen to find another way around them" and do not anything with that power that would get you, those you share your secrets with, or 'the school' in trouble, teachers and said administrator might look the other way - as long as you reveal to them 'how you did it' when they bring it up. If you manage to have calm conversations and aren't seen as a nuisance, you can typically get away with a lot in that regard. (Not drawing the attention of other students in this regard will certainly be helpful.)
The kind of security schools use is usually not 'that' robust, since the lowest bidder tends to get contracted. Poke around and you might find creative and surprising ways around your school's security measures. As long as they are running on Windows, those machines will always have vulnerabilities to exploit.
Or accept that NG is no longer an option at school and find other online activities to enjoy. ;)
