Phoronix: Chromium Embedded Framework "CEF" Seeing Progress On Wayland Support

One of the important pieces of open-source software still working toward proper Wayland support is the Chromium Embedded Framework "CEF" that in turn is depended upon by software like Steam, OBS Studio, Spotify, and many other software packages for having an in-app browser-type experience. The good news is there has been some recent progress on native Wayland support for CEF...

This, I like. The mentionned apps are literally the three last requiring me to have Xwayland.
After that, and thanks to Wine 10.0, I'll be able to drop Xwayland and ALL X dependencies from my system.

I hope this fixes Spotify under Wayland.

I'd like to have a fully Wayland desktop and use wayland-satellite to handle X games.

Spotify is Electron, not CEF. It already works on Wayland well enough (modulo decorations issues since its bundled Electron is apparently too old to implement good CSD, but that only matters if you're on GNOME like me).

Strange how Toyota of all companies is the one to fix this.

I hope those cars pack enough RAM to quench the browsers appetite.

Doesn't Electron use CEF?

Spotify is the most complex CEF app out there. They use a C++ wrapper, and it's not as simple as upgrading Electron, as CEF has no API stability.
