MS Edge, Arc, and Sidekick have features Chrome doesn't such as split screen, side panels, and vertical tabs. Likewise for Firefox forks such as Zen.

Chromebooks provide separate logins for personal and Workspace/GSuite accounts.

As for what happens if your Chromebook is stolen and you've not selected the option to lock it when the lid is closed, Workspace/GSuite accounts can be remote wiped, personal ones cannot. Perhaps with the upcoming Workspace Individual plan, remote wiping of personal accounts will be possible too.

Password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can save and fill in TOTP codes. Maybe not perfect security but a big win for convenience and loss prevention.

I have a cheap HyperFIDO from a company in British Columbia. https://www.hypersecu.com/products/hyperfido/

Works the same as my $18 Yubi key but the little cover over the USB prongs keeps falling off...

1366 x 768 can look quite sharp on an 11". You were probably just looking at a bad screen.

AFAICT the reason than even expensive 11" laptops generally don't run higher resolutions is that at that size you can't tell the difference.

In five years of running a Chromebook dev mode, I've never had that happen but just in case Crouton has a backup feature to save a gzip of your chroot onto a SD card etc.

Sub $200 Chromebooks with decent keyboards: Dell 11 (2014 & 2015 models), Asus C202SA, and maybe the Lenovo educational models. At higher prices, of course, you have many choices: both Pixels, Lenovo and HP 13" and the Acer 14 for Work (all last year), the new Asus C302SA.

That's a sharp looking PDF. May I ask what software or template you used?

You might want to indicate somewhere that this is for Windows only. I downloaded the source on my Linux machine and took a while figuring out that it's a MS Visual Studio project.

You can't have a security key as well as the new Prompt method.

The article states that if 2FA is enabled, then answering a security question or access to the recovery email is also required.
