That's why I wrote that it makes sense in Flock's strategy. Thank you for the comment. I hope everything is still as fun as before inside Flock, and I can't wait to see what you guys are going to release next! Hi Matt,

I agree that Flock couldn’t have monetized as well as an extension (or a set of extensions). That’s why I wrote that it makes sense in Flock’s strategy.

Thank you for the comment. I hope everything is still as fun as before inside Flock, and I can’t wait to see what you guys are going to release next!

Maybe it could help indeed. But I haven't checked in detailed, it's possible that worker threads are limited in the services they can access; e.g. you call it with an input, it returns and output but it's in a completely isolated box in the meantime. Anyway, maybe with Chromium they would also have issues accessing common browser services from their separate processes... Hi Gandalf, thanks for the links!
