Can you watch Crunchyroll on a Chromecast? They at least use ASS in the browser.

Sure, but only the english subtitle, and you can’t disable it. For Chromecast, you have to use the burned-in subtitles.

Which is expected, considering the hardware just isn’t powerful enough for ASS subtitles (to get good performance, even on a desktop you’ll want a recent CPU and at least 1-2GB of RAM): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromecast#Model_comparison
