So, you are asking your users to download a specific, crippled browser and then restrict them to only using that. 

Are you *sure* that you want to do that?

Even then, I expect it's not very difficult to get around. That's *if* the information is worth copying.

Well yes. In a traditional exam, we cripple students by putting them in a room with someone supervising them, remove all reference materials, and any technology better than a pen, pencil and ruler, and expect that to be a valid measure of their abilities (or at least a measure of their abilities where it is hard to cheat).

Giving them a laptop and a crippled browser is a step in the right direction. There are educational scenarios where it is the least evil option.
