I already know that it’s spyware but in the case that I need to use it for work and school on my Linux laptop, do I need to worry about configuring something so that it won’t have access to my whole system like it does on Windows? I’m on ZorinOS/Ubuntu. Thanks in advance

      Afaik Qubes runs all software in containers,
      which isolates them from each other,
      which is great for privacy.

      However, OP only asked for Chrome,
      and I assume the jump to Qubes might be too big.

      To only isolate Chrome,
      I’d recommend a Flatpak instead.

      Or even better Ungoogled-Chromium.

        Oh, I just figured that a portable version of an isolated OS would be a decent alternative. Bit you’re right maybe a bit too much
