+### Use embedded Cronet
+
+The embedded [Cronet][] is provided as `org.chromium.net:cronet-embedded`
+which does not require to use the [Google Play Services][].
+The library uses `dart-define` to switch to the embedded implementation
+when `cronetHttpNoPlay` is set to `true`.
+For example:
+
+```
+flutter run --dart-define=cronetHttpNoPlay=true
+```
+
+To use the embedded version in `flutter test`:
+
+```
+flutter test --dart-define=cronetHttpNoPlay=true
