As a former Windows user I find the middle mouse paste feature makes Gnome nearly unusable. At least Firefox has an option to disable it. However, Chromium and by extension most Electron apps do not have any setting to disable this on Wayland: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3744

Although I very like this feature, I find it insane there's no config option to disable it x-wide / compositor-wide.

I'm glad it's possible to disable it on KDE + Wayland. I don't know if it's just me, but when I tried to use Gnome with a touchpad I ended up pasting text everywhere.
