Great News.
I got a USB keyboard for $9. The PS3 needs a good browser.
It’s not the browser that’s important. It’s the underlying rendering engine that really important. Webkit and Gekko being ported are more important.

THis is good news.
Sony should Run over to Google and ask them to port Chrome to the PS3. There’s too much money to be made to worry about the strange bedfellows.

@ JimmyStewart

Netfront the current browser is already 3rd party and Chromium is opensource, Google adopted it to Google Chrome as Sony could do..

I think Sony can not use a opensource browser in their close sourced XMB.. it’s like Apache and IBM.. in the end it’s call IBMIHS but is still Apache…

Toss me in the good camp as well! Especially since I would assume that with Firefox the development would be done by others so Sony could focus on the PS3 instead of the browser.

I’d accept Chrome as well… but I’d prefer the open source browser I use and recommend, rather than tossing in another corporate brand.

Chrome would be a great fit for the PS3 too. They are already friends with Google, make it happen Sony!

Finally! Can we implement this, like yesterday? Glad to hear that someone at Sony is working on replacing the lame PS3 browser.

Firefox would be great, but yeah.. Google’s Chrome would seem like a more practical choice. It’s sleek, efficient and seems to do everything you want right out of the box – no plugins or extensions needed.

In a perfect world, we could have our pick from Firefox, Chrome, and Opera… Until then, they just need to offer up a fuss-free version of one of these to stop the bleeding ASAP.

Mmm.. I would think they are in contact with Google?
They already have the google search and the Youtube special PS3 (not workable) version..

umm, we don’t rip off anyone in case you’re wondering. If there were any rip-offs, that would be others copying and pasting from us. If we do get word for word from another site, we make sure to put those in either quotation marks or blockquotes. smart guy
