Hello there,

With Chrome version 122, it support native Wayland. see this:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/1ce9abc81fac01b1a1d91bddf57f37747fe5ced3

The old, Xwayland implementation codes are removed.

This flags to need to start Chrome to use this new method:

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --use-gl=angle --use-angle=gl --ozone-platform=wayland

The easy way to use flags permanently, if you edit Chrome .desktop file.

I tested a Intel integrated card and work well! (much better, than the old xwayland method)
