Chrome was basically a reskinned WebKit browser earlier on and then they forked it. I doubt Chromecast (the device) is more than a break even if that. It costs the same as a Roku stick and the CEO of Roku said their hardware doesn’t make a profit. They make money from advertising.

The Chromebook sells are minuscule.

Chromebook sales were 21% of notebook sales in the US in Q4 2018 and the percentage is growing:
