I moved some of the team to ChromeOS and that works well. It currently fails for me on "let me run things"
As far as they are concerned, that is a feature rather than a bug.
They'd prefer to kill desktop software so everything becomes cloud-based, so they can either track users & charge advertisers for access to the captive audience or in some cases charge other recurring fees for it.
They generally prefer the ad-based business models tied to monopoly marketshare so that customer support is a non-concern.
Look at how Chrome...
- eventually required all apps to be installed from their official store where users must be logged in
- abitrarily banned AdBlock Plus until they could negotiate a beneficial biz dev deal
- prevents apps being given away free via bundling, (even though Chrome got much of its marketshare via bundling on Flash security updates & even on software like CCleaner)
- disallows clicking into websites that bundle downloads & give huge red warning screens, (even though Chrome got much of its marketshare via bundling on Flash security updates & even on software like CCleaner)
- auto-overwrote some search provider settings back to Google
- etc.
Just yesterday someone complained to me about not being able to install Firefox on a Chromebook.
As they gain marketshare, their predation against the user will only get worse.
I am still with Windows for now, but if I quit that then I'd probably opt for a Mac & after that I'd do Ubuntu or maybe I would learn to configure Linux (or write an OS)
before I'd consider using any of Google's spyware.
