I use Chrome OS on my Chromebook for four years. Some time ago, I caught myself that about 90% of my work I do inside the web-browser. I work mostly with the Google services, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Doc, Sheets, Slides, etc. Plus, I use many chats and other online services. It makes me decide to buy a Chromebook with Chrome OS on it. I am satisfied with using Chrom OS. Together with Chromebook, it gives me a lot of flexibility to work out from home with a distant autonomous without charging with low caring weight. Chrome OS focuses on the web browser. I can install apps from the Chrome web store on my Chrome OS. There is quite a good selection of messengers. Plus, Chrom OS allows running some Android applications.

An operating system by Google, so you will be tracked and spied? No, never ever. Sad enough, there is almost no alternative to Android on smartphones, if you don’t like Apple, but there are alternatives for notebooks, as there are so many wonderful GNU/Linux distributions available.
Eh, in my high school days we were given a bunch of Chromebooks to use for certain assignments. If you're firmly on the Google plantation and enjoy using their products, Google Chrome OS may be just right for you. Its focus on a cloud-based experience (or whatever that is called) may appeal to some people. It didn't appeal to me, though. I find it difficult to justify getting Google Chrome OS when any other computer can run Google Chrome as well. Is it the increased integration? Perhaps, but then you could tinker around with a Linux distro to do that.
