Tempted to deGoogle my chromebook, but somewhat intimidated by the process (involves taking the base off and removing a firmware write protection screw, blasting the firmware with a completely new BIOS and installing from scratch with non-Google Linux)
But it has to be done. The version of Chrome on this is EOL and no longer works for everything I want a browser to do, and I want to replace it with Vivaldi anyway.
