Chromebook setup
A Chromebook already has the browser the client needs. The play FAQ treats school Chromebooks as a supported kind of machine. The u53 notes from 7 July 2025 talk about Intel Chromebook buffering and fewer lost WebGL contexts.

Chromebook compatibility and the u53 fixes are project statements. There is no named-device benchmark here, and a managed school device may restrict access even when its hardware is compatible.
- Update Chrome if the managed device lets you.
- Prefer the 1.8.8 client for lighter machines. WASM-GC is the faster path when the browser supports it.
- If the screen freezes after you switch tabs, u52 claimed a fix for being kicked on tab switch. Update the 1.8 client rather than installing a helper.
- Mouse drift on a trackpad is covered on the mouse-drift page.
Nobody has a serious FPS number for “the cheapest Chromebook” in this guide. Expect WebGL to be the limit, and turn off the PBR path if the fan spins up.
Questions
Can I install it like an Android app?
