Out of curiosity, what are the hardware specs of your Chromebook? I'm running GalliumOS on a Lenovo Chromebook 11e and I'm having a bad time. Admittedly, this machine is low spec.
This! As soon as I try to scroll on a site and it overrides my browsers method I'm gone. There's no excuse. It's not necessary and just frustrates users.
having "[...] open source [...]" in your tag line, for a closed source project, is a bit disingenuous.
"Project A has beneficial aspect X, we forked project A's work and removed X, but we just thought we should mention that it used to have aspect X, which is cool!"
> Runs on powerful x86 full-fledged laptops, on single-board-computers like the Raspberry Pi and of course anything in between
> Love Android apps? Great! We are building support into Flint OS.
> Flint OS now works perfectly on most x86 and ARM based hardware platforms. We are particularly interested in making Flint OS run on single-board-computer (SBC) solutions based on ARM architecture, such as the Raspberry Pi, SBCs with RK3288 and RK3399 chips. With this, we breathe new life into the arena for the touch-enabled interactive terminals. Our clients include dual-screen smart POS machines, interactive classroom whiteboards, connected shopping mall wayfinders, smart vending machines and automated digital signages just to name a few. We provide the best user experience with minimal maintenance and development cost.
> Flint OS loves the Raspberry Pi and STEM education. We have created a comprehensive set of JavaScript APIs to interface with the Raspberry Pi hardware and peripherals, providing young users to understand programming and electronics by the most intuitive JavaScript language.
Sounds good. I will try it when it will have support for Android apps in future. I highly doubt that Google will bring Android or ChromeOS for Raspberry Pi.
Is it open source? Or closed source like RemixOS/etc (the other ChromiumOS builds)
Actually it would be great, if a community project provides binary builds (and source in case of modifications) of Chromium (browser) and ChromiumOS. Building the source takes 16+GB ram and several CPU hours. Sadly, Google doesn't provide the builds (binaries).

That said, the top nav element on the site takes up half the screen on my phone and won't go away. Super annoying.
What issues are you having?
Locking part of the screen after scrolling partway so that only a tiny portion of it scrolls with scrunched up text.
It's everything wrong with modern website design.
PLEASE stop doing this!
U/X is about ease of access to information; not flashy tricks.

ick.
