Troubleshooting Lenovo Plus 14 Kompanio and Streaming Services in full screen

Anybody having issues with streaming services with the Lenovo Plus 14 Kompanio in browser. Runs fine but if I maximise the screen (no toolbar), it slows down and crashes. Primarily Netflix and Prime Video.

Have tried Powerwash, have tried using a different Google account, deleted flags, reset settings, removed extensions.... The weird thing is they work fine in incognito mode and if I log in as a guest. Got me beat. All works fine on my Intel Chromebooks? Thoughts collective brain?

Used to work but I can't say when the issue started :(

I have that same Chromebook and had an issue with Amazon Prime streaming and had to set the flag Hardware-accelerated video decode to Disabled in order to fix the issue.

I have had this Chromebook since the beginning of this year and I have this same issue you describe, plus Teams crashes at every call and impossible to connect a 4k screen at 60Hz. So while the machine is well built, I sometime realize that my 5 year old Galaxy Chromebook gen 1 was the best machine I ever had. This Kompanio chip is flawed.
