  Of course (not meaning to be snarky to you) Chromebooks can do hardware acceleration. Off the shelf hardware that supports Linux can also do it with no issue if you compile ChromiumOS yourself. You can see it for yourself if you have a reasonably modern non-Nvidia device. You can find a build here [1], and 7z x it to a device or use Rufus, and when you boot it you can check a guest session and see how watching a YouTube video does not light your laptop on fire. I am very glad that Firefox is getting there too. Judging by this Reddit comment [2] it's still got a long way to go, but that's quite fair when it's just the one Red Hatter working on it I believe.
