Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with Chrome extensions.Unfortunately no, we cannot ban extensions on browsers for all users across out platform.

I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
