Opera is Gtk3 already. How will that run?

Awesome, now we'll have a major browser running natively on Wayland when the DE's with Wayland support are first shipped.

It's pretty amazing to see Wayland coming together after following its developement for over two years... I wonder if the PPAPI Flash Player works with this and if Chrome OS is going to adapt Wayland in the future (it could help with ARM graphics support).

Google would be stupid not to adopt Wayland as their underlying display server for Chrome OS. And I don't believe anyone at Google is dumb.

We don't really need more fragmentation. For the good of Linux I hope MIR dies.

My ultimate hope is that both Google & Canonical see the benefits of unifying efforts behind a platform-agnostic display server, and eventually port their systems over to Wayland.. that may not be too realistic, but a man can hope.

Google uses a customized variant of Ubuntu internally for their office PCs so it's no surprise that Mir will be supported.

Also, Google wants to make it easy to support other platforms like Mir.

Chrome already flies. And with the upcoming switch to Google's Aura window system and Wayland support coming, it will only get faster and faster.

Some more info about Ozone can be found here: http://www.chromium.org/developers/d...ocuments/ozone - also mentions Google is working with Intel on this, so it's not just a hobby project from some Intel guy. Also, Google wants to make it easy to support other platforms like Mir.
