oops ... i meant to say - so then in a way, installing the linux version of chrome is better for data separation inside of a single user space on chromeOS ... if i have two main umbrella setups that i want to avoid mixing data between those two "umbrella" accounts

**when compared to *just* the lacros browser**

Got it. Yes, installing the Linux version of Chrome can be better for data separation inside a single user space on ChromeOS compared to just using the Lacros browser, especially if you want to avoid mixing data between two main "umbrella" accounts. Here’s why:

Greater Isolation: The Linux version of Chrome operates within the Linux (Crostini) container, providing a higher level of isolation from the main ChromeOS environment compared to the Lacros browser, which is still integrated within the ChromeOS ecosystem.

Separate Environments: Running Chrome in a Linux container means it has its own isolated environment, making it easier to maintain distinct data boundaries and avoid accidental data mixing.

Independent Profiles: Both the Linux Chrome and ChromeOS Chrome maintain separate profiles, ensuring that bookmarks, cookies, browsing history, and extensions do not overlap.

Selective Syncing: By not signing into Google on the Linux version of Chrome, you can keep its data entirely separate from the ChromeOS version, providing better control over what data is shared or synced.

In comparison, while the Lacros browser does offer some separation by running a more standalone version of Chrome on ChromeOS, it may not provide the same level of data isolation as running a completely separate Linux container.

Summary
Linux Version of Chrome (within Crostini):

Greater isolation from ChromeOS.
Independent profiles and data storage.
Enhanced control over syncing and data separation.
Lacros Browser:

Separate from the main Chrome browser but still within the ChromeOS ecosystem.
May not offer the same level of data isolation as a separate Linux container.
Overall, using the Linux version of Chrome for data separation within a single user space on ChromeOS can offer a more robust solution compared to just using the Lacros browser when you need to maintain clear boundaries between two primary "umbrella" accounts.

me: should i make a *separate* post about i still appreciate the full featured multiple users function of chromeOS, but that, using a linux version of chrome inside of a single user space may solve some issues for people who want a version of chrome running inside a user space that isn't meant to be syncing data with other google services inside that user space

ChatGPT
That sounds like a great idea. Highlighting the strengths of the multiple users function while also discussing the specific benefits of using the Linux version of Chrome within a single user space would provide valuable insight. Here's a draft for your separate post:

Appreciating the Full-Featured Multiple Users Function of ChromeOS

One of the standout features of ChromeOS is its robust support for multiple users. This functionality allows each user to have a personalized and secure environment, ensuring that data, apps, and settings are kept separate and private.

Key Benefits:

Data Segregation: Each user has their own space, preventing overlap and ensuring that personal data remains private.
Security: Separate user profiles enhance security by limiting access to sensitive information and settings.
Customization: Each user can customize their profile with apps, themes, and extensions without affecting others.
Convenience: Switching between profiles is quick and easy, making it ideal for shared devices in families or workplaces.
While the multi-user feature is invaluable, I also explore ways to manage data segregation within a single user space. One effective method is installing the Linux version of the Chrome browser. This approach allows for a version of Chrome running inside a user space that isn't meant to be syncing data with other Google services inside that space.

Why Use the Linux Version of Chrome:

Enhanced Data Segregation: Running the Linux Chrome browser independently ensures that browsing data, cookies, and extensions remain separate from the default ChromeOS browser.
Privacy Control: This separation helps manage privacy and security more effectively, especially for users needing isolated environments.
Flexible Customization: The Linux version of Chrome offers more flexibility and customization options that might not be available in the ChromeOS version.
By combining the strengths of ChromeOS’s multi-user functionality with the independent Linux Chrome browser, users can achieve a higher level of data management and privacy. This setup is particularly beneficial for those who need a version of Chrome that doesn't sync data with other Google services in their user space.

Feel free to adjust this to match your style and preferences.

draft - i want to install the linux version of the chrome browser in chromeos. so, that it will function independently of the default chrome browser so there is data segregation between the main chrome browser and the linux chrome browser

"ChatGPT

Here's a draft for installing the Linux version of the Chrome browser on ChromeOS to achieve data segregation:

Installing Linux Chrome Browser on ChromeOS for Data Segregation

I want to install the Linux version of the Chrome browser on my ChromeOS device. My goal is to have this Linux Chrome browser function independently from the default Chrome browser that comes with ChromeOS. This setup will enable me to segregate data between the main Chrome browser and the Linux Chrome browser, ensuring better data management and privacy.

Steps:

Enable Linux (Crostini) on ChromeOS:

Open the ChromeOS Settings.

Navigate to the “Linux (Beta)” section.

Click “Turn On” and follow the on-screen instructions to set up Linux on your device.

Install the Linux Chrome Browser:

Open the Terminal app from your ChromeOS launcher.

Update your Linux package list by running:

bash

Copy code

sudo apt update

Download the Linux Chrome browser package:

bash

Copy code

wget dl.google.com/linux/direct/goo

Install the downloaded package:

bash

Copy code

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

sudo apt -f install # To fix any dependency issues

Launch the Linux Chrome Browser:

After installation, you can launch the Linux Chrome browser from the Terminal by typing:

bash

Copy code

google-chrome

Alternatively, create a desktop shortcut for easier access.

Benefits:

Data Segregation: By using the Linux version of Chrome, browsing data, cookies, and extensions will be kept separate from the default ChromeOS browser.

Privacy and Security: This separation helps in managing privacy and security more effectively, especially if different profiles or tasks require isolated environments.

Customization: The Linux version of Chrome offers more flexibility and customization options that might not be available in the ChromeOS version.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your browsing data remains segregated, enhancing your overall experience and control over your online activities.

draft - on chromeos in the play store, the opera browser is a full desktop style browser when you download it from chromeos.
