So many warnings about Chrome browser [View all]

New member of this group. I'm an "older" guy, over 60 yrs old, so it can take me longer to grok shit than it used to.

I see warnings about security issues with the Chrome browser all the time. Most recently this one in Forbes magazine:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2021/10/02/stop-using-google-chrome-on-windows-10-android-and-apple-iphones-ipads-and-macs/?sh=6e2afcbe2f30

I use the Chrome browser on my Android devices, and Safari on my Apple devices.

But what I am curious about is, these articles go on and on about how lax Google is with its Chrome browser, and how many security fixes get created for Chrome, BUT I NEVER SEE IF THE SAME WARNINGS APPLY TO CHROMEBOOKS. It seems like they would, or should. But no one mentions Chromebooks, just how bad the Chrome browser is. I've been thinking about getting a Chromebook.

Any help here?
