Protecting your privacy on a Chromebook goes beyond basic security settings. This 2026 guide walks you through every privacy-relevant setting. In Settings > Privacy and Security, disable usage statistics and crash reports. Review the Sensors section to revoke unnecessary camera, microphone, and location access. In Chrome settings, disable URL prediction features that send URLs to Google. Enable ‘Send a Do Not Track request’. Install extensions: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and HTTPS Everywhere. Review your Google account’s activity controls and pause tracking if maximum privacy is needed. In Google Play Store, disable automatic app updates and review permissions before installation. The location sharing settings should be reviewed carefully. For enterprise users, Chrome Education Upgrade provides additional data controls.
