Sorry for being the noob here, but does anyone have experience with AWS EC2 or any other cloud instance provider. I was hoping to spin up an EC2 and then run google chrome so I can visit a website in multiple windows with different IP addresses; but I can get past the first part. Running chrome on an instance. It’s all terminal.

Any opinions?

You have to install OS linux/windows on it and then install chrome accordingly. You need proxies btw from the sound of your idea and not a server running chrome instances

Really would TOR do the same? I thought it didn’t

It really depends on what you want to achieve. If it's about accessing web sites from different places around the world, TOR is the free way to do this. A better and more controllable way of course would be to use proxies with a plug-in in Chrome or Firefox, or go all the way to a VPN.
Installing Windows on a VPS to open Chrome is the ultimate overkill.
 
Sounds like you're better off using proxies. Spinning up an EC2 instance is a bit of an overkill if all you want to do is use chrome. TOR is an option as well but most sites block it by checking IPs against the list of TOR exit nodes
 
you can try to install a vnc server and run google chrome inside, but the graphic speed is very low as it use cpu for randering
 
If you are serious about performance and need to accomplish some CPU expensive task and want a managed, automated solution, then AWS Workspaces is what you're looking for but it's really expensive. If you just want to use chrome, set up RDP and open the port in your security group for your IP address

EC2 is very expensive. I would avoid it.

you get what you pay for, everything in AWS has an API endpoint and can be scripted, plus their hardware is top notch and has far better performance than any competitor. But I agree that is not for everyone and has a steeper learning curve.
 
I'd suggest to get a windows VPS instead. Relatively cheaper than AWS and it does the job.

I disagree. AWS hardware, unless you are willing to pay hefty ,it's really mediore. Everybody could find a dedicated server that beat to death AWS in performance and price. However, ec2 could rotates the ip (while a dedicated is usually a fixed ip).
