Google's ANGLE Merges Wayland Support, Unblocking Chromium Embedded Framework On Wayland
Google's ANGLE has integrated native Wayland support, which is expected to enhance the Chromium Embedded Framework's functionality on Wayland. This development resolves a significant barrier that has been preventing proper support for Ozone/Wayland windows in CEF. The issue has been tracked since November 2019 and is anticipated to be closed with the new ANGLE update.

Google's ANGLE Merges Wayland Support, Unblocking Chromium Embedded Framework On Wayland Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 26 May 2026 at 04:28 PM EDT. Add A Comment It looks like Google's Chromium Embedded Framework "CEF" could finally be enjoying nice native Wayland support soon! Google's ANGLE graphics abstraction layer for translacing OpenGL ES 2/3 calls to Direct3D / OpenGL / Vulkan / Metal has finally added native Wayland support. ANGLE is used by Google Chrome and a variety of other applications as a graphics API abstraction layer. With this merge to the ANGLE codebase, there is now official Wayland support. At long last. Notably this appears to have been the last blocker from Chromium Embedded Framework properly support Ozone/Wayland windows.
