TOUCH NOT CLICK
The secret to the touch-pad on a Chromebook is to touch, not click, to select things.

In fact, if you hear your touch-pad make a clicking sound, you are pressing too hard.

Here are some tips to make selecting things easier.
 

Left click or select

Press Touch lightly on touch-pad with one fingers.

Right click

Press Touch lightly on touch-pad with two fingers. You can also press Alt, then click touch with one finger.

Scrolling

Place two fingers on the touch-pad and move them up and down to scroll vertically, or move them left and right to scroll horizontally.
 

Window & page scrolling

In addition, with Chrome, you will notice that almost everything you select will open on a separate tab.

To quickly change between tabs, put three fingers on the touch-pad and swipe left or right.

In addition, a two-finger swipe sideways will go back a page or forward a page in your history.
