Google Chrome 50 Released With Wayland Support

[Wilfred]

Was anyone able to get Chrome working on Wayland? And if yes, how?

Also, does the default Chromium install work on Wayland? I am running Fedora 25. How do i check if Chrome/Chromium are running on Wayland or not.

No, I could not. At the least you would have to build chromium yourself with the right options, and I could not.

$ xlsclients | grep chrome

This should give nothing. If yes, chrome runs in Xwayland.

Works for me, and all existing Linux users.

for you and other idiots who live in cave and think it is best place to live

is missing features (which means broken in real life).

no program is feature complete ever
if it has not enough features for you, then you do not use it yet
it has enough features to be used by production smartphones and cars
it has enough features to run gnome login screen in production distros
soon it will have enough features to run full gnome session
idiots could still build their custom x server

Yes, but if would be Wayland compatible i wouldnt need 2 branches, one for Wayland and one for X.

i presume you mean x compatible. x compatible is x, and it is broken. if you could fix x, you wouldn't need wayland. you only need 2 branches if you are using x directly, but then it is your own problem. use x via toolkit and you will not need 2 branches, toolkit will handle it

Big surprise: Replacing something that isn't broken, is often a lot of work for very little gain

replacing something that is broken, like x, is often a lot of work for very much gain
