This would be an epic fail. As catchwa has pointed out, this is a dumb ass move. My browser having these capabilities would cause serious issues if a webpage mis-behaves.. NO NO NO.

If this is actually part of chrome browser then there's no way on earth I'm going to keep using it.

It's not yet, and I doubt it will be some time.

It might not even make it out of the Chrome OS... but who knows what plans they have :)

just throwing this out there... Firefox can already browse all of your files, as can Opera and (I think, too lazy to boot to windows) IE. It's a feature of modern web browsers that they treat your disks essentially like ftp servers. Just type in / (or c: for windows people) into firefox, and you'll see what I'm talking about. This isn't really a big deal.
