My understanding is that both Chrome and Firefox work in Wayland, now.

That wasn’t the point I was trying to make though. :)
Chrome(ium) still doesn’t run natively under Wayland by default - you’ll need to manually pass specific flags to the executable to tell it to use Wayland. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/chromium#Native_Wayland_support
Firefox also needed manual flags, but not anymore - Wayland support is enabled by default since version 121, released around three months ago. But some distros had enabled Wayland for Firefox much before that, Fedora being one of them.

No, FWIU with Chrome browsers you shouldn’t need special switches anymore.
