The screen flickering is likely to be an Intel driver bug actually.

It's not because it was working fine with 4.6 then I upgraded mutter and the gates of hell opened. Also in the bug report there are users user that experience the issue with raedon and nvidia as well.

Have they fixed the problems with some of their programs breaking due to web providers changing their APIs?

That's not a particularly fixable problem, if the API goes dead then so would your program. The mapping tiles thing also came almost out of nowhere so there wasn't a good way they could plan around that

Plasma 5.8 doesnt even run on wayland at all. It doesnt support EGLStreams.

The latest versions of Qt 5 does support EGLStreams so maybe it'll come...

Can it run Qt5 based application as wayland clients? Plasma 5.8 supports running GTK3 applications natively on Wayland.

Yes, why not? I haven't got any problems with Qt5 apps in GNOME Wayland. Just run application with -platform wayland parameter. There is one problem: Window decoration is different than GTK3 or XWayland applications.

Plasma 5.8 doesnt even run on wayland at all. It doesnt support EGLStreams.

Doesn't run on nVidia prioprietary driver. It works good on open source drivers. And not only Plasma, but all Wayland desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, Weston etc.) can't run on nVidia driver, because it hasn't got GBM implementation which is used by all Wayland compositors instead of EGLStreams. EGLStreams isn't mandatory for Wayland, you can use GBM too. Nobody support EGLStreams now.

I haven't got any problems with that. Just run Qt5 app with -platform wayland parameter and it should works without problems. But window decorations are different than GTK or XWayland applications.

Doesn't run on nVidia prioprietary driver. It works on open source drivers. EGLStreams isn't mandatory for Wayland, there are another way - GBM which is used by all Wayland compositors (GNOME, KDE, Weston etc.). Nobody support EGLStreams now, and that's why Plasma (and any other Wayland compositor) can't run on nVidia driver - it hasn't GBM implementation, but open source drivers has it.

Ad blocking sounds like a VERY sane default to me...

Mine as well, but let me ask you a question: have you came across websites that tell you to disable adblocker? This happens occasionally, and I fully understand they need to protect their very bottom line by keeping adblockers completely out. With exception for Phoronix, it's not like I visit websites every day. If I have never been to a website but want to check them out to see what information they have that I wanted so I can make purchasing decisions and every single web publisher tells us we can't we adblockers anymore, I'd be happy to stay off the Internet for good.

And then I have a thought: why not "view-fraud?" Just download an ad and hide it, right? Oh, wait! Here comes destructive malvertising for Windows/Mac users...
