I'm curious why there aren't any platform partisans screaming "bloody murder" about Google's obvious flaunting of GUI tradition on this one. Putting tabs on top of the window titlebar may be the greatest UI innovation since tabs themselves, but it's going to make Chrome windows look and act differently from every other application on the user's computer.
That being said, a browser using WebKit + Gears + solic process sandbox model appeals to me a lot. Props to Google for explicitly referencing the Biba model, too -- if they can get web developers to start paying attention to the body of security theory published in the last 40 years, the browser itself could be a huge flop, and still leave us better off than we are currently.
