The Linux container is sand-boxed. but the chrome browser does by default send a lot of metrics back to Google.

EDIT: I only bought this device for experiments. It is a very low end, efficient laptop. I don't use it for anything else.

    I recently started using my Chromebook more and was struggling to find a way to make the video playback smoother when using mpv running on ChromeOS.

    I quickly realized the default config doesn't use hardware accel on ChromeOS as it is disabled for crostini.

    I wrote a guide on how to enable it and use a custom config to enhance the user experience.

    GitHub repo is a fork modified to enable mpv hw accel support in crostini.

    I recently unlisted my number. I hate TC as well, they have dark patterns everywhere. They are so fishy. They keep pushing the premium version on you and the number of *adverts *they show on the free version is unbearable.
