Prototype: Chromium

Research: Tabs and Windows

We are interested in understanding how tabs and windows work in the Chromium codebase. We'll want to modify tab and window behavior to support Sail Spaces.

Research: Chrome API

One strong hypothesis we have is that it is easier to build new browser functionality in web technology rather than native code (C++). We want to understand the Chrome API well to know what it can and cannot do, and whether we can extend it assuming we control the underlying browser.
