Far as I'm aware there's nothing in Chrome to stop LESS working unless you 
disable JS, but that's the same as all other browsers. Generally speaking you 
should compile server-side (which it works in clients, it also slows them down 
a lot), however that does mean you need to get node.js and lessc installed. 
Compiling in the client is good for development, however I find I compile 
locally using the Mac OS X LESS.app - it just compiles automatically whenever I 
save a LESS file.

The responsive stuff is not included by default because it increases the CSS 
size quite a bit and not everyone needs it.

The way I work with bootstrap is I create my own 'root' LESS file that I use 
instead of the bootstrap.less file. This means I can change import order, 
comment options out etc without touching bootstrap source, so when bootstrap 
gets updated I can just replace all its files without losing any local changes.

Something else you should learn ASAP is how to use version control, preferably 
git or subversion.
