## How do I use this?
Before using this, make sure you have the `xdg-desktop-portal` package installed and running on your system.
+Some applications respect the `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` and `GDK_DEBUG=portals` environment variables (most GTK applications and
+some Chromium-based browsers, e.g. Vivaldi).
+
To make Firefox use the Portals API, go to `about:config`, search for options that start with "widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal" and,
if they are set to 2, set them to 1.
