We did it! Our month-long project (codenamed Top Sail) is now ready to be shipped. With this release, all of Chromium's native UI (written in C++) has been replaced with in-house Sail UI (written in HTML/JS). This makes future UI changes and feature additions 10x faster than before and allows us to accelerate our release cycles.
Now that we have Top Sail, we have deprecated Chromium's native view for tabs, omnibar, and navigation commonly referenced as browser chrome (not related to Google Chrome).
A new debugging tool for troubleshooting Top Sail behavior tied to tabs, spaces, and our custom APIs.
