   • You can only use Chrome on Chromebooks. It's understandable -- yet incorrect -- to think that Chromebooks, which run on ChromeOS, can only use a Chrome browser.
   • Chromebooks aren't safe to use. Chromebooks have multiple layers of protection to keep your data safe. For example, you'll get automatic updates from Google so your device always has the latest patches.
