Can a Chromebook be private? What are the good practices you follow?


What do you consider as "privacy"?


Not being tracked? Like my activities ideally should only be know by me and those directly involved. Even better if only i know but that's impossible.


That's it? Privacy is just the lack of tracking? There are no other components to a private life?

Tracked by whom? Anyone? Is it OK if your parents track you? Does your government have a direct involvement in, say, public city streets?

Is this about technological tracking? What if you walk through a forest, and some stranger comes up behind your path, and uses natural evidence to find out something about you, and which way you went? How would you prevent that?


I mean you should pursue the ideal, and you will be pretty good if you fail. I don't believe you really answered my original question but it is fine.


IMHO, your question was both rhetorical and open to interpretation, so at least I attempted to clarify the latter.


It really wasn't. The conversation was about computers, and you started talking about forests.
