Just a note from one of chromium maintainers here: please give it a try
even if you don't use chromium as your main browser. Writing policies
for client-side software is not really easy, so the more systems this
can be tested on, the better (that includes users' expectations).

Thanks,
Paweł

For those interested, the current policy (the one that will be in rev 2 as
it contains a few minor changes still) can also be seen online at
