Google's Chrome OS runs on Chromebooks built by different manufacturers. Various applications can be installed via the Chrome store but there's no straightforward way to install Tor.

How could one set up Tor to run on a Chromebook or any device running Chrome OS?

(I'm not looking to just proxy Chrome through another Tor'd device like this page suggests, even though it is a decent idea.)

Currently it seems like the only options involve either using a proxy on an external device as you listed, or rooting and dual-booting a linux distro (eg chrubuntu) on the chromebook.

Now with linux apps on chromebooks you can do the following to run the tor browser:

  • Enable Linux app
  • Run the following commands
    • sudo printf "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports.list
    • sudo apt update
    • sudo apt install torbrowser-launcher -t stretch-backports
    • torbrowser-launcher

Steps based on this wiki entry.

This is not the same as full blown tor for the whole os but its a start.
