Enabling support for the Ozone platform would allow chromium to run natively under Wayland.

According to the docs [0] Ozone is supported for linux since version 57 and can be enabled at build time with:

gn args out/OzoneLinuxDesktop --args="use_ozone=true enable_package_mash_services=true"
ninja -C out/OzoneLinuxDesktop chrome

Then the Wayland platform could be selected at runtime with:

chrome --ozone-platform=wayland --mus

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Won't enable experimental features; it's up to upstream to mark it stable and enable it by default.
