Google adds some Chrome to the Browser Wars

Well Google has officially entered into the browser wars with Google Chrome. From looking over their documentation, it appears that there main goal is to speed up the processing of JavaScript and also have tighter integration with Google Gears. In my opinion, this is a win, win for the general public and I don’t really see this effecting the Flash Player space very much.
However, I would be interested in hearing what you think.

At page 31 of the comic (http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/images/31.jpg) they say that each plugin instance will run in its own sandbox, preventing it from exchanging data with the page itself. This could be annoying for ExternalInterface, right?
I can’t really understand if this is how it’s going to work when Chrome is released or later…

I found this out on my very first test of Chrome.
I tested a site that has a flash video player allowing full screen. Well it did go to full screen but on the esc or minimize totally bombs out locking the browser and leaving the video player screwed up
