Extremely hacky process detector that should, in theory, detect which browsers are running, which could be leveraged by Switchyard someday.
Wayland has inherent limitations that isolate windows from each other. Unlike X11, it is impossible to query from running windows in a desktop/compositor-agnostic manor. This PR currently resorts to pattern matching from
