Chromebook accessibility: Changing the order of mouse buttons is unsupported

This is particularly strong with the Chrome team and other parts of Google. In order to protect that $2M revenue/employee, they only build things for the generic mainstream or high paying advertisers. See also YouTube's video recommendations.

If you want a computer, get a computer. If you want a cheap Google ad-viewing portal, get a Chromebook.

This comment spreads misinformation IMO. My first laptop was a chromebook and it treated me well for years, albiet with chrubuntu.

Standard ChromeOS shows 0 additional ads compared to standard Chrome on Windows 10 or even Firefox on Windows 10 without an ad blocker.

In fact both Ubuntu and Windows 10 do, or have shown ads outside of the browser, so IMO they have _more_ ads then chrome os does. Nothing stops you from putting an ad blocker on Chrome OS too.

That said chrome os isn't for everyone, but I would not call it a "Google ad-viewing portal" what so ever. That suggests it's like the kindle fires with their ads which isn't the case.
