The end result has been years of (practical) research going into an actually safe, actually sandboxed, actually secure cross-platform platform: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client

I raise my right eyebrow of incredulity at the "actually secure" claim, considering that even Chrome regularly falls in contests like Pwn2Own.

Well, native client isn't chrome itself. Chrome has to deal with dumb OS issues and platform interop. Native Client is more of a complete data/instruction sandbox: https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/faq#security-and-...

Plus, they are taking their time (years and years and years) to get it working properly before driving public adoption.
