Firefox is surprisingly one of the few programs that has no/almost no glitches in wayland with nvidia.

The total of human days of work amounts to something like 1000 years+. Its a an incredible project.

And it needs even less memory than Electron, even if it runs as an own instance with a different profile! I replaced Discord with it a year ago and it's much better in literally every way. I just wish there would be a FF alternative for Electron.

I think there is something like that but it's really not popular and I'm not even sure it's maintained anymore

Try it with multiple monitors. Unless I manually enable native wayland, it flickers just like most other xwayland windows.

I meant using MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, of course

only glitch recently is that I couldn't get multi-account containers to work. 2 years ago I couldn't even open setting's menu under wayland, so it's been evolving
