[tor-talk] The Google Browser, Sand boxing and Tor.

After doing some research and Mike from Tor pointing me in the right
direction,
It appears there are several key issues with Google Chrome that allow for
Leaks.

This would require big adjustments by Google to correct the situation.   At
this point, it does not appear Google will participate.

An arguably better option would be to work with Mozilla to create a
Sandboxed feature.  This could be used for many thing, not just flash.

As I have not heard of any talk much less planning for such a feature, I
would say this topic is dead.
