Valid in many cases (hence the rubber hose quip), I was merely responding to above. It does have use as a quick way to burn it all down before any requests are made.


Plugins are now a popup at the end of the address bar, works for me, although most commonly used are still in the toolbar, which looks cluttered because of it. Still happy with the get out of the way design philosophy.


FWIW gOS has a duress PIN baked in. Doesn’t stop the rubber hose but at least you can be smug ;}


Just some tips for new users: Just install it and dont be afraid to try things out (Google Store, profiles, Aurora…etc). Oh and dont make it tooooo complicate with many profiles and private space.
I recommend a clean main profile (i.e. no Google Play etc) and a corrupt profile, install your stuff then find FOSS replacements for main. Over time you naturally decouple from Google, but it’s there if you need it.

Already is… but it is what it is. Welcome to gOS, we don’t have cookies ;}
