   I won't just blame Wayland with no evidence.

   I doubt if Netflix or any streaming service will work, as they require   
   DRM features which aren't in Chromium. Google Chrome on my x86 Linux   
   laptop is the only thing that will play services such as Netflix and   
   Amazon Prime.

   I had problems with Chromium on my Pi 4Bs becoming unresponsive and not   
   displaying the BBC news pages correctly. That was with the 32 bit   
   variant of Bullseye. I did a semi-in-place upgrade to 64 bit, and the   
   Chromium on that, even though it had the same version number, worked   
   perfectly.   
      
   If you are a Pi 4 or 5, I would recommend moving to the 64 bit version   
   of the OS, as I suspect the 32 bit variants of heavy weight desktop   
   apps, such as browsers, are not going get as much attention. Plus 64 bit   
   is a bit faster, as long as you have plenty of memory, (don't try it on   
   a 1MB 3B+).
