Step 1: Track users.

*runs away from the mob with pitchforks* wheeeee

Right, because of course Chrome users are obviously so against be tracked...

???

*Looks at this guy running*
*schatches the head*
*concentrates back on the totally-not-NSA-Sponsored piña colada*

Seriously, though, was it ironic? I thought as much, but it can be hard to tell.

But Chrome and Firefox needs to get ported to Wayland to run on KDE on Wayland.

Because now KWin and KDE Plasma can run on Wayland.

Yes it can. I'm running KDE with Wayland, and Chrome works great in it:

Ironically, what does need to be fixed is KDE's notification system in Wayland, which currently creates these opaque popups in the middle of the screen. I'd prefer Chrome's notification system over this.

KDE's Wayland support has come a long way. It's finally very usable, though still has some work to do.

Well, else I can't use this new feature.

Chrome runs fine on KDE running on Wayland. FWIW.

Chrome is actively being ported to Wayland, you can follow the development/try it here:

Yeah, because nobody runs KDE on X anymore. Also, complaining (over and over and over) about things not supporting Wayland on Phoronix forums will definitely help speed development. Keep up the good work!

Hope the "Chrome" support is something generic for Chromium, meaning other Chromium-based browsers (Opera, Vivaldi) work too.

most likely because of chromium so yes.
