I stopped using my fifth Chromebook because it stopped recording my extensive bookmarks.

I replaced it with a much better former Windows 10 laptop after having a geek install a terabyte SSD and Ubuntu Linux in it.

Youtube and Rumble can be very much like social media with their subscriptions, which I eschew.

The problem with windows is it tends to self destruct. All my versions of Windows ultimately had problems with the "registry" that cause the computer to eventually freeze. So you have to get programs to keep cleaning it up. With a chromebook all you have to do is press 2 keys simultaneously and it absolutely cleans the drive.

Yes, JooToob is horrendous. Rumble not much better.

If you were following Brian Krebs at krebsonsecurity.com, you would know that nothing has changed at Microsoft. Chromebook is simply Google's sorry Linux distro, which I gave up on when it stopped recording my bookmarks while continuing to appear to do so. Chromebooks don't have drives, doing everything in their cloud, from which they can sell it.

The Internet has always required superior vetting skills and punished those lacking or refusing to use them.
