Installing hardware accelerated chromium

Rockchip SoC requires a patched version of chromium to support hardware video acceleration.

Install using acu

acu install chromium

For Wayland, if chromium does not launch after installation, this can be fixed by logout the system and login again.

Alternatively, you can install it manually with the package chromium-mpp from 7Ji repo (requires additional configuration).
