Browser Engine Project

This is an epic that could probably cover all the work done by Igalia on WAM and also upcoming features like having a browser app on top of WAM.

, : opinions ?

Alternatively, we can close this epic. Walt, I let you decide at the end.

I think this issue can be closed. Please confirm. 

Frédéric Wang (Igalia) is now in charge of porting Chrome on Wayland and Igalia pushes directly there modifications on chromiun.org. A 1st version draft of Chrome/Wayland/Ozone with hardware acceleration was presented on Renesas/Gen3 earlier this month at CES.

Nevertheless the integration with AGL-CC homescreen is not yet finished Romain (iot.bzh) + Ryo Kodama (Renesas) are working at integrating Chrome and a native AGL application. The goal is present an 1st integrated version of Chrome as a native AGL application by AMM timeframe.

Note that Chrome/Wayland/Ozone heavily relies on XDG protocol and a stub was created to accept XDG on top of IVI-shell, nevertheless this hack should be review when a cleaner AGL graphic stack (Wayland/Compositor/WindowManager) with a proper XDG support will be in place.

Conclusion: Manuel repo is obsolete as a result it might be better to start a new issue to address future work on Chrome for AGL and close the one Manuel created.

What is current status of this project? Do you know if Igalia's work on Chromium will be incorporated into AGL?
