Why is Preferred Ozone platform in Chromium not Auto by default but X11?

Hello,

I installed Chromium from the Fedora Repos, and was a bit surprised when i saw that Xwayland started, at least it explained why Pinch to Zoom was broken, so I switched Preferred Ozone platform in chrome://flags to Auto, so it selects Wayland and enabled Wayland text-input-v3 because copy & paste was broken without. Now it does not invoke Xwayland anymore. But why is this? After all Fedora wants to switch to Wayland Only for Gnome next Release and has already for KDE, seams odd to me too distribute a Browser that uses X11 by default then.

PS: I also noticed Darktable has a similar behavior, but there I disabled it by disabling Xwayland completely, And it has no benefit (no proper Multitouch)

This seems like a reasonable improvement/fix to raise as a bug report.

See How to file a bug :: Fedora Docs

Done!
