It's a test run. They will relax those conditions first chance they get.
As far as I can tell, Linux will remain not targeted by attempts to sponge off all kinds of user data. Which makes me so happy that I finally made the leap.
From what I heard it's only not on Linux yet because they've had some serious crashes due to incompatibility with Wayland. Don't worry, it'll come to Linux in time.
firefox + DDG + linux + vpn is my preferred combo, or the 'privacy stack' as I like to call it.
Thank you, thank you Wayland for being you.

I wonder if Chromebooks fall under Linux

They definitely don’t fall under Mac or Windows, at least.
Could you please add:

* Opted in

(Or at least, "* Hasn't opted out")
