I'm not sure I get the rational behind this one? Is it just because they are already using Chrome, so it's better to reduce the attack avenues?
Also, it seems to me if you need to use Tor, it's probably not a good idea to do so on your regular Windows desktop. Wouldn't Tails be better advice while also being more foolproof for less tech savy people?
