You can install Graphene without Chrome, just so you know - might be worth looking into, since it sounds like you’re taking this stuff seriously - good for you. But yeah, at a certain point, can you trust the Graphene hashes haven’t been altered? You can take it to extremes.

We all have our thresholds. I use this mostly to learn using the practical application of an example. I do care about my actual workstation and what is on it, mostly for the peace of mind, but also because I might occasionally get pissed off at some piece of shit proprietary hardware, reverse engineer the design with a schematic and upload it with kicad files. That's about the only real reason for me. I also source a lot of sketchy datasheets and old documentation. I care enough to be behind a whitelist fw, which would stop most junk. It's mostly just the principal of ownership. Stalkerware is hacking as privateers with a license from the king of the USA - corporate America.
