• Improved robustness: better browser and unit tests coverage, fixed race conditions and tons of internal fixes.
• Improved internal extensions execution model: now external extensions run in the main thread.
• Only load Extensions on demand, exactly on the first time they are used on a frame.
• Extensions writers can make use of JS helpers and small libraries by using the "requireNative()" function and the v8tools module.
• Create one Extension Process per Render Process. Now each WebApp will have its own pair of Renderer+Extensions Processes.
