On the Edge of disaster: Microsoft's browser on Linux

I actually used Edge Linux on Arch for awhile because it worked with wayland better than other Chromium derivatives, it was very fast, and it had some features I would normally need extensions for (hence they also probably run faster).

It was pretty good, warts an all.

...But it seems to have progressively enshittified even more? I uninstalled it when it just got ridiculously bloated, and every time I check it on Windows it just gets worse.

Chromium has a switch for wayland:

       --ozone-platform=wayland

The best you can do:

    git clone git://bitreich.org/privacy-haters
    cd privacy-haters/chromium
    sudo cp default /etc/profile.d/chromium.sh

Edit /etc/profile.d/chromium.sh and append that flag at the end of the previous one.

Yeah I know, but my problem is it would crash or artifact with native wayland, or at best break gpu acceleration completely.

Edge handled that better, for whatever reason.
