tbh, I see it as (possibly) a better java applet. with better OpenGL support, so "real" games are actually feasible, and not even that hard. Chrome is positioning itself very, very strongly as a platform, not just a browser, and this is a necessary part of that. I'm not a fan of this ever-widening set of things browsers have to do (separate from each other / external libs / etc) since it just raises the bar for any competitors, but I must admit it is nicer for the user than all the past attempts.

> Chrome is positioning itself very, very strongly as a platform, not just a browser That makes no sense, because the browser is by definition a platform.

  I don't know your definition of a browser, but in my opinion, a browser used to be mainly a document viewer. This is changing now, but the original statement does make sense in this context.

"Chrome is positioning itself very, very strongly as a platform" This is terrible and I wish they'd stop doing this and stick to working with Mozilla more.
