Our prototype implementation and evaluation experience indicates that it is realistic to turn an existing browser into a multi-principal OS that yields significantly stronger security and robustness with acceptable performance and backward compatibility.
I wonder if any of the other browsers will take this as a challenge? Of course long ago Netscape did claim that the browser could be the OS.
It might make a good "fast boot" when you don't need a general purpose OS.
