Issue 153802 in chromium: Port Chrome to Windows Phone 8 aka WP8

New issue 153802 by ***@gmail.com: Port Chrome to Windows Phone 8 aka
WP8
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=153802

Chrome Version: tbd
OS Version: Windows Phone 8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Buy WP8 phone at some time in the near future
2. Search WP store for Chrome
3. Not found

What is the expected result?
- Find a native WP8 Chrome app, with Chrome bookmark sync

What happens instead?
- Chrome not found

Now that the Chrome team has developed a Chrome Metro/Modern UI version for
Windows 8, I'm hoping that large parts of the code can be recycled to build
Chrome for WP8. It should at least be easier than the previously requested
port to WP7 in Issue 61720.

Chrome is the best user-friendly browser with the sync function!

Windows Phone 8 supports Native C++ code, and uses a variation of the WinRT
set of APIs from Windows 8

I would think you would want chrome on as many platforms as possible. Wp8
lumia 920 is an awesome device and chrome would be great on it.

If this is actually happening, a couple of requests:

- Follow 'Modern UI' guidelines as much as possible.
- pivot view of the 'new tab' 'open tabs' 'history'
- show open tabs as tiles, with proper tile sizing (full, half, or quarter
width)
- at least a dark theme and light theme
- honor the user's accent color (if Chrome branding allows it)
- for maximum elation, allow users to arrange the bookmarks on the 'new
tab' page like tiles, including reordering & resizing like on the start
screen, and enable flinging through the list. Not sure how to make
compatible with Chrome bookmark sync
- option for switching user agent
- options to 'save to Google drive' etc, integrate Google services

As an aside, this issue made it into the top 100: http://goo.gl/9S4MR

Could I kindly ask what are the most significant obstacles there from
technical perspective? WinRT sandbox?

A new year, a new version of Windows Phone. I have opened Issue 489037 in
the hopes of hearing more about the technical possibility of running Chrome
on Windows 10 mobile devices.
