for example if i only use it to browse the internet and maybe download games from play store but i dont install extensions and use https only, can i still be hacked and my operating system destroyed?? what can i do to avoid that?? i only use my chromebook for python
Technically, anything can be “hacked”, but that’s the same kind of technically as “any car can be broken into”.
Just like there are ways to mitigate getting your car broken into, there are ways to mitigate getting your system compromised.
