[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 713285"] The basics.. Elect NOT to help with development/telemetry is a huge checkbox to uncheck. Normal settings in Chrome for privacy (flags, regular sliders, etc). uBlock works nicely. VPN wise, PIA's Chrome Extension based VPN is quite good. Some stickers over the camera, just in case. If you can jim into the bios, turn a bunch of stuff off there at the hardware level. The usual stuff really. But you can make ChromeBooks as quiet as a butterfly, which is way harder to do on Windows 10. Not to mention Chromebooks are actually a fairly hardened operating system at the get go and is so regularly updated that to develop a targeted attack might be nearly impossible (or exceedingly hard). The threat surface on a CB without android apps on it is MINUSCULE. [/QUOTE]
