WIP: Use cgroup for detecting which browser we're supposed to mimic

Kai Uwe Broulik requested to merge work/generic-browser-identity into master

Since the extension host is launched by the browser it will be in the same cgroup, which we can then use to extract the exact desktop file name.

This way we can also mimic e.g. Chromium when it is packaged differently, or tell the difference between Firefox and Firefox Nightly, or support any Chromium-based browser, such as the new Microsoft Edge.


I get media controls for the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser for Linux now
