I am considering using a Fire tablet and a Chromebook and would like to know what OS I need to access the Fediverse suite of apps.
Is the Fediverse accessible as part of the Amazon and Google suite of apps?
Would I be able to access it on the Web anywhere no matter what device?
I intend to use the Fediverse everywhere if possible no matter what device I may acquire.
Most Fediverse stuff has web front ends so that any modern browser will work.
My concern would be that Chrome is about to neuter ad blockers, and you can’t use a different browser without replacing the OS.
Both are also heavily privacy destroying.
Based on this Chromebooks can run Firefox flatpaks.
Ah, it’s been a while since I used ChromeOS. Looks like Flatpak was founded about the time I stopped.

Ah, it’s been a while since I stopped using ChromeOS. That’s an improvement.
You can’t easily run the normal version. You can install the android version fairly easily, but running the normal version requires you to enable a debian container from developer options
Since most of the fediverse is run by volunteers, blocking ads isn’t much of a concern.
Though I do agree with the sentiment and I love Firefox + uBlock Origin on my phone.
