So am I correct, the Chrome Browser is the only Program included with the
Chrome O/S?

On this XP pc I use Firefox with the NoScript Add-On and most websites I
visit the NoScript dropdown list has Google this, Google that etc....

Google: Analytics, Gstatic and many others that want my TEMPORARILY OK
when I visit the pages.
So I live in the Google walled-garden when I'm on the internet.

I'm not so sure about ALLOWING all of those Google thingy's instead of
selecting Temporarily Allow on the sites I visit.

It would take less time for a page to load if those Google Thingy's were
marked Allow in NoScript.

What do You do?

And there is DOUBLECLICK always asking permission, but I don't do that.

I've been thinking about marking JQuery, Cloudflare and a few others as
ALLOWED in NoScript.

There are others I need to read up about to see if they too need to be
ALLOWED also. Bootstrap maybe?

Is there a Chrome O/S Emulator for Windows where I could run it on a
"Live CD"?
I could play some with some of the things my Chromebook Friend uses and
be more knowledgeable talking to him about his computer.
