It seems futile to use Tor when the OS itself is made by a notorious spyware vendor. But there are Tor browsers for Android that should work.

So, like, Windows 10?

Yes, there is little difference from Windows.

Not trying to prove you wrong on this one, just a Chromebook fan myself. Have you tried/do you consider app support on Crostini/Linux? I haven't tested it, so unsure if it works, but all of the Linux programs I've installed have ran fine on a Chromebook.

A simple article on Chrome Unboxed suggests you can install Tor browser and have it work. I think there is less issues with TOR and more issues with you fundamentally not caring about privacy. Like most of the internet.

I care about privacy quite a bit, and I exercise good privacy practices, just not the same ones you seem to care about. Why judge me like that?

Can a Chromebook be private? What are the good practices you follow?

What do you consider as "privacy"?

Not being tracked? Like my activities ideally should only be know by me and those directly involved. Even better if only i know but that's impossible.

That's it? Privacy is just the lack of tracking? There are no other components to a private life?
Tracked by whom? Anyone? Is it OK if your parents track you? Does your government have a direct involvement in, say, public city streets?
Is this about technological tracking? What if you walk through a forest, and some stranger comes up behind your path, and uses natural evidence to find out something about you, and which way you went? How would you prevent that?

I mean you should pursue the ideal, and you will be pretty good if you fail. I don't believe you really answered my original question but it is fine.

IMHO, your question was both rhetorical and open to interpretation, so at least I attempted to clarify the latter.

It really wasn't. The conversation was about computers, and you started talking about forests.

Please tell us what sites you worked on so we Firefox users can avoid using them :)
Or they're so bad they wouldn't even load the entry page in FF?

Sure, it's easiest if you stay on the happy path. You'll only regret that if you or what you want to do online falls out of favor of whomever is in power.

Why do you judge me so? What do you know of my regrets?
The only One who is in power will judge me justly, and I eagerly anticipate that with joy and thanksgiving.

How about using HN to make this comment? Even if you use your real name for it, you add some traffic to Tor, which helps.

It's just amazing to see the tech support bros come out and I've got at least six replies telling me how I can use Tor when my OP listed fewer than half the reasons I won't use it, but tech support comes out and asks me if I tried rebooting my ideology and upgrading my politics to the latest.

Practically everything I do on the web involves authentication and a login and an identity. They're all US-based services. It's stuff that I use to manage my household, and finances. It's also social media stuff; some of it's pseudonymous, but I've got Facebook too.
These services factor in security hints such as device fingerprinting, and a consistent local IP address that belongs to an ISP account I pay for. That's as safe as it gets in this modern digital jungle.
I also use Chrome. I don't use Firefox. Don't try to get me using Firefox; it's incompatible with my workflow. I don't even have it installed to debug website errors. I also own a Chromebook and I do a lot on the Chromebook. 100% of my employment relies on it, and 20% of my personal use is there, too. TOR isn't compatible with ChromeOS (prove me wrong.)
The #1 error of TOR users is that they eventually reveal themselves online, by authenticating to some service, or by going to haunt specific websites or URLs they like. This is similar to people in Witness Protection or abuse victims who run away: they eventually contact family or friends and reveal personal details, and then they're re-victimized.
Sorry TOR, you're not for me.
