Way to get around blocking software

If your school uses bitfender and securely, then you can pretty easily get around the blocking software by using firefox instead of chrome. I sadly only know how to get around bitfender to open firefox for macs, so if the more tech-savvy ppl on this sub are willing to do it, just figure it out on windows and chromeOS. To work around bitfender, just copy the app from the disc image to another folder. I personally went with a windows xp vibe for my school laptop, so i had a folder named recycle bin on my desktop that the IT guys never checked because its icon was an empty recycle bin. Once you have the application copied, double click on it. Hit open. When it stops jumping in the dock, right click on it and hit show package contents. Open info.plist with textEdit. Then open the macOS folder inside the app contents. Threre, you should see an executable named firefox. Rename it to Google Chrome or something. Then, go to your textEdit window and hit command+F and search for cfbundleexecutable. Under the hilighted area, you should see firefox. Replace that with Google Chrome(or whatever you named the executable). You can now open firefox.

I have tried all the troubleshooting methods, and I still can't figure out how to fix this. If someone could please help me out, I would be extrememly happy.

Also, this happens as soon as it opens. If it helps, I'm on a thinkpad t450, and I am using proton 9.0-4 for compatibility. I have no special commands for launching, I just hit play on steam. This version of proton is the only compatability option that gets me to the red and black valve logo screen.
