Hello,
Is it possible to write the "browser Chrome", i.e., menus, scrollbars,
dialog boxes, window manager decorations, tabs, etc, using HTML? It
seems to me that this can be done with a stack of two renderers. The
bottom one is the main page you're browsing. The top one has a
transparent background, plus a bunch of iframes where you expect to
see the chrome elements.
With that, you can have a much more customizable system UI look. It
will look much nicer that "views", but less hassle to port than
traditional gui toolkits like GTK.
Any thoughts?

Just ignore my previous email. It might be easier to port the browser itself to Native Client, but that would defeat the purpose of allowing users to test Chrome before using it (which is what I assume you want to do), since only Chrome users would be able to test it.
