In the past, we may need to use XWayland when using Google Chrome or Chromium under the Wayland environment. But now (as of 01/04/2021), it’s possible to use native Wayland with Google Chrome/Chromium if they are installed through the official repository or AUR.

Just launch Google Chrome/Chromium with two additional flags:

$ google-chrome-stable --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

or

chromium --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
