the linux version of chrome is essentialy private space for chromeOS, because its essentially a version of the chrome browser that's *not* tied to the operating system itself.

this was not the case with lacros, which, while allowing multiple chrome profiles, was still tied to the os.

and that is why, i think, google should legitimately make and maybe market something more like *that* as a "thing".

it's better than lacros.

the linux version of chrome should be available on the google play store for chromebook.

to be used alongside / separate from the built in version of chrome

this would be a hearty substitute for lacros

it'd be better than lacros

lacros allowed multiple browser profiles

but the profiles were integrated into the operating system

the linux version of chrome on chromeos is not integrated into the OS which is a good thing.

Chatgpt response:

"It does seem like ChromeOS is constrained in a way that prevents it from reaching its full potential as a versatile operating system. While Google's emphasis on a lightweight, secure, and user-friendly environment is commendable, it does limit the kind of software that can be run, especially compared to Windows.

Here are some points that highlight your concerns:

1. **Limited Software Installation**: ChromeOS primarily supports web and Android apps, which can feel limiting compared to the vast array of desktop applications available on Windows. Opening up ChromeOS to support more robust software could indeed make it a more compelling option for many users.

2. **Monopoly Issues**: Google’s control over ChromeOS and the built-in Chrome browser does raise questions about monopolistic practices. Allowing more browser choices and making it easier to install alternative software could address these concerns.

3. **Market Share and Innovation**: Google might be intentionally keeping ChromeOS in a niche market to avoid antitrust scrutiny. However, the lack of aggressive market expansion and innovation leaves many potential improvements untapped, frustrating users who see the potential in Chromebooks.

4. **Past Innovation**: Google’s early 2000s era was marked by significant innovations like Gmail and Android. There’s a sense that this spirit of bold, user-driven development has diminished.

For those looking to push the boundaries of their Chromebooks, projects like **Crostini** (Linux on ChromeOS) and **Lacros** (a new Chrome browser architecture) offer some potential. However, they still don’t fully bridge the gap between ChromeOS and a more open operating system like Windows or traditional Linux distributions.

Your frustrations resonate with many who see the potential for Chromebooks to be more than just "wifi typewriters." It would indeed be exciting to see Google rekindle its innovative spirit and bring more flexibility and power to ChromeOS."

i wish chromeOS would break free of its chains and open up like windows11 and allow installation of full fledged software applications via the google play store. not android baby apps. full fledged desktop programs and software. full fledged microsoft edge and alternative browsers. what's up with the search thing being the issue of monopoly. how about the chromebook browser being a monopoly. i guess thats why google doesn't give a shit about increasing chromebook marketshare since, if they did, they'd have to deal with the scrutiny of that. whereas, if they maintain like a sub-5 percent marketshare, then they can claim microsoft is the monopoly. but google. you've got a good product in chromebook. but why not improve it. what happened to don't be evil. what happened to the google from the 2000s. the one that gave us gmail, android, etc...why can't we get more innovation on the chromebook front. why can't we gain marketshare to compete against microsoft

chatgpt take:

I understand that having a sandboxed version of Chrome for ChromeOS would be beneficial for maintaining data segregation and avoiding the tight integration with Google services and Android apps. Here's a more polished version of your reasoning:

Fictional Observer: Why should Google officially support a sandboxed version of the Chrome browser on top of ChromeOS, in addition to the regular version?

Me: For me, it's important because on my userB setup, I want to log in to my userA Chrome profile. I want to do this without using the default ChromeOS Chrome browser because I don't want my userA data to mix with the ChromeOS environment, which is tightly integrated with Google services and potentially with Android apps like Google Photos. Having the Linux version of Chrome on ChromeOS would allow me to keep my data separate and more secure. The sandboxing policy for the Linux version provides better isolation from the OS than Lacros.

Fictional Observer: What do you mean by "policy"?

Me: By "policy," I mean the way the Linux version of Chrome is sandboxed and isolated from the OS. This separation ensures that the browser operates independently, without unnecessary data integration with the underlying ChromeOS and its associated Google services.

Fictional Observer: Why do you care about this separation?

Me: As I mentioned, I care because it allows me to maintain clear boundaries between my user profiles and their associated data. This way, I can manage my accounts more effectively and avoid unintended data sharing or integration, enhancing both privacy and organization.

xpost - draft - google should officially support a sandboxed version of the chrome browser on top of chromeOS that is not tied at all to the OS, in addition to the one that is tied to the OS

chromeOS needs the linux version of chrome in *addition* to the regular version of chrome

fictional observer: why

me: for me its important because on my userB setup, i want to login to my userA chrome profile, but i want to do it in a way where i'm not using the default chromeOS chrome browser because i don't want my userA data being mixed with how chromeOS is tied tightly with google services and also potentially android apps like google photos etc or any android google app for that matter. i want the linux version of chrome for chromeOS and i want it to be officially supported. the policy for it is better than lacros

fictional observer: policy?

me: like, the way in which its sandboxed from the os

what other browsers are akin to duckduckgo that we can install a debian version for on chromeOS? epic privacy browser?

there's a post below this about click to install debian software on chromeOS with linux enabled (and make sure to enable the flag "Crostini GPU Support" in chrome://flags too.

anyway, oh yeah, um, duckduckgo browser. i kinda googled for that, and they're saying that they're focusing on windows and mac. ok...

so what other browsers are akin to duckduckgo that we can install a debian version for on chromeOS?

epic privacy browser?

draft - debian software on chromeOS with linux enabled?

i'm googling firefox debian.

it seems once you have the linux thing setup for chromeOS, for the linux additional sandboxed version of the chrome browser for linux that's not tied to chromeOS itself (hence sandboxed which is a good thing if you're looking for a sandboxed chrome browser that isn't tied to chromeOS / android services, which is what i am looking for) then you just download the debian version on google's official website. and then you can just click to install the package, - no command line necesary. so then am i correct to assume that any linux software i want i just search for "debian" version of it on google or?

and another thing someone told me is to make sure to enable the flag "Crostini GPU Support" in chrome://flags

LaCrOs on chromeOS - multiple chrome profiles -

"I have been using the LaCrOs version of Chrome for more than a year, and I was devastated when I read Robby’s post about Google shutting down the LaCrOs experiment in the near future. “Devastated” might seem like a bit of an overstatement, but let me explain.

Don’t take away my profiles!
The most valuable feature of LaCrOs was the ability to create multiple Chrome profiles. To those of you who use a Mac or PC as your primary device, [chrome profiles have always been available.]"

For some reason, chrome profiles were not available on chromeOS until the lacros flag was made available in 2022. this greatly increases the utility of chromebook by allowing users to seamlessly switch between chrome profiles as can be done on windows and mac.

chromeos is no good for data segregation. i saw this chromeos laptop i thought would be good. i thought lacros was staying and expanding. the problem is, i need to be using a windows computer when i sit here becuase i like to be logged into the user where its "google umbrella acount B-esque" in windows, where i can have a chrome profile logged into the google umbrella account A. i have that setup already on a 2020 windows 10 laptop. and i think i sorta regret using the money to get this chromebook even though its nice. but for my needs, a windows 11 laptop would have maybe made more sense. even though i can't stand that microsoft doesn't force all pc makers to have 2 USBC power delivery ports like google forces chromebook makers to do. god damnit microsoft. get with the fuckin program.

Google should bring account switching to ChromeOS’ browser

"If Google can get this added, I think the disappointment from the loss of Lacros will largely be quelled."
