I am wondering about the kernel piece. Does Chrome on Windows have any code that is loaded in the kernel? I'd be quite surprised if they did. Any Chrome expert know?

I don't believe he actually means the OS Kernel. It's a userspace "kernel" in that it coordinates the traffic and behavior for all of the subprocesses.

  Right. The "browser kernel" process, which is the coordinator for all the network activity, and a dozen other things.
