MuppetScalextric @thmf Just as he said.
One fact that FLOSS advocates consistently overlook is that they justify the dismantling of security under the guise of a desire for excessive freedom. Who ultimately benefits from the dismantling of security? Exploiters and black hats stand to gain the most.
That i said, a must not make the fundamental mistake of sacrificing freedom solely for the sake of security.

I agree with most of your post, but this is blatantly untrue. Chromebooks have very strong hardware backed-security, including a full Verified Boot implementation.
That’s why I no longer mention Chromebooks. While their security is comparable to that of the Pixel, their performance is on par with mobile devices, and the only device that struck a proper balance between security and overall code execution was the macOS-based computer. If you need enough computing power to justify using a Chromebook, it’s better to install GrapheneOS on a Pixel device that supports DP Alt mode and use an external mobile monitor.
The major issue with Chromebooks is that, unlike Android devices where it’s optional, they require a Google account.
This means that a Google account is directly linked to a digital ID, which is not a good sign for privacy.
Considering that even with Apple devices, an Apple ID itself is not mandatory, this is nothing short of terrible.
Therefore, even with a Titan, the Chromebook is not much different from a standard Pixel device without Graphene OS, and in some cases, it’s an even worse platform.
