@KiTCurriculumWriter Is this the Android or Linux version of Obsidian? I don't own a Chromebook, but from what I've looked up you can install either on them. If you enable the developer console, what shows up?

@mirnovov I wasn't able to get the developer console to work, but I pulled up the Debug Info. It says we are running Android 9. Edit: Looks like I can get the Logstravaganza plugin if you need more info from the DevConsole.

I've managed to emulate Obsidian running on ChromeOS and reproduce the issue, so that should be unnecessary.

From my testing, it seems that this issue is caused by an out-of-date Android Webview, which Obsidian uses to run on Android/ChromeOS. While Obsidian itself seems to work fine with older versions, Homepage requires certain features which are only included in versions 86 and above.

You can update Android Webview on the Google Play Store but if you have the latest update for your Chromebook that should update it as well.

Great, thanks!
