Phoronix: Chrome Adds Support For FreeDesktop Secret Service & Better Wayland Window Dragging

The Google Chrome/Chromium web browser merged two notable features yesterday for Linux users...

Of course xdg-toplevel-drag is supported "punctually" by Chrome... it's just the Chrome extended-drag protocol under a different name + some bikeshedding from Wayland's devs.

Xdg toplevel drag is substantially simpler and quite a bit different than what was originally proposed by Chrome. Compare what was merged

They share very little in common.

I wonder why Chrome removed the #middle-click-autoscroll and still has not enabled vertical tabs? Brave has both ...

Well, while the xdg protocol *is* much simpler, many parts of the extended-drag one where never implemented/needed. The ozone implementation shares pretty much everything for the two protocols if you look at the MR. So IMO it's fair to say that seeing it land isn't surprising :/

didn't know that freedesktop had a secret service.

So not only Russia, China, UK and some other countries are spying on you...
