## Chrome

Chrome is currently unsupported, and will not function.
Accelerated video decoding has been reported to work on Chrome version >= 129 with NVIDIA driver version >= 565.57.01. It might work on slightly older versions of
Chrome and/or NVIDIA driver, but glitches and bugs have been reported.

These flags should suffice: `--enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks`. Note that the [direct backend](#direct-backend) must be used.

what about VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks - is it needed? I don't use it and get C in nvidia-smi.

It is required for some devices, and it can do no harm even if it's not needed - so it's better to include
